"1762 leto" (Bulgarian: 1762 лето [xiˈʎada i sɛdɛmˈstɔtin ˈʃɛstdɛsɛt i ˈftɔro ˈlɛto] or Песен за унищожението на Охридската патриаршия; Macedonian: 1762 лето [ilˈjada i sɛdɛmˈstɔtin ˈʃɛɛsɛt i ˈftɔrɔ ˈlɛtɔ] or Песна за патрикот, English: The year of 1762) is a song written by Grigor Parlichev, a Macedonian Bulgarian writer.
According to Parlichev[1] and other contemporaries,[7] the song contributed more to the final victory of the Bulgarian national movement in Macedonia against the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople than many of the previous efforts of the Bulgarians.
The text of the song with minor changes was published for the first time by Vasil Kanchov in Sofia in 1891.
[9] In 1953 the song was translated and published for the first time in Macedonian by Todor Dimitrovski in "Avtobiografija; Serdarot, Skopje, 1953, Kočo Racin", to mark the 60th anniversary of his death.
[10] Two popular Macedonian recordings of the song are by Ansambl Biljana in 1974 and Mizar in 1991.
