It is a good song.
I don't know, however, if Macedonians can rightfully claim it. Is it a traditional folk song from Macedonia, or was it created recently? More importantly, aside from the Youtube comments, if it was created recently, what is the intent and allegiance of the composers, arrangers and/or performers? Did they write/perform this song with the intent for it to showcase the nationalist Bulgarian line of reasoning that Macedonian culture is a regional and sub-culture of Bulgarian, or do they genuinely look at Macedonian music/culture as different than Bulgarian?
I hate that I'm politicizing the music this much, but I like to err on the side of caution when it comes to Bulgarian attempts to subvert Macedonian music and culture and pass it off as falling under the umbrella of Bulgarian culture.
Could this be the best song about Gotse Delchev?

I didn't here the song say anything about joining with Bulgaria, unlike one of the comments: "Vojvodata Goce Delcev i site Vojvodi i Komiti koi si go dadoa so gordost zivotot za SVOBODATA na Makedonija i soedinenieto na Majka Blgarija! "
It is a song about a Macedonian performed in a typical Macedonian arrangement. Macedonians rightfully can claim it.

My favourite parts of the lyrics are:
Da te zhalam sto godini, nema da mi stignat!
(To mourn you for 100 years, it will not be enough!)
This song is mostly sad, but in some lines it does give some hope, and I thought the song was relevant to the current developments in Macedonia.
