Anthem of Macedonian IMRO - Изгрѣй, зора на слободата (Shine, dawn of freedom)

"Маршъ на македонскитѣ революционери" (Марш на македонските революционери; English: The "March of the Macedonian revolutionaries") also known as "Изгрѣй, зора на слободата" (English: Shine, dayspring of the freedom) is a Bulgarian march used by the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO), the Macedonian Patriotic Organization, and also as the first anthem of the People's Republic of Macedonia (1944-1948).
The lyrics and music of the march were written by the Bulgarian military composer Aleksandar Morfov in 1925 at a contest by the IMRO. The proposed march was presented to the IMRO leader Todor Alexandrov by the composer at the home of General Kosta Nikolov in Sofia. In the period before World War II, the march was performed as the official anthem of the IMRO. "Shine, daylight of the freedom" has traditionally been performed at all regular events of the Macedonian Patriotic Organization since its inception in 1925. According to some publications in the periodical, the poet Kocho Racin tried to adapt the chorus of the song to the still non-standardized Macedonian language shortly before his death in 1943.
