"Today Over Macedonia", the anthem of the Republic of Macedonia, was composed and created in 1943 by Vlado Maleski . It was adopted to be an anthem of the former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia when it was established after World War II. Later the song was selected to be the anthem of the newly established independent Republic of Macedonia.

Lyrics in Macedonian

Денес Над Македонија

Денес над Македонија се раѓа,

ново сонце на слободата !

Македонците се борат,

за своите правдини !

Македонците се борат,

за своите правдини !

Од сега веќе знамето се вее,

на Крушевската република !

Гоце Делчев, Питу Гули,

Даме Груев, Сандански !

Гоце Делчев, Питу Гули,

Даме Груев, Сандански !

Горите шумно пеат,

нови песни, нови весници !

Македонија слободна,

слободна живее !

Македонија слободна,

слободна живее !
