Ancient lyrics. (difficult to translate apparently)

Izlel e Delyo haydutin,
haydutin enkesadjie,
s Dumbovtsi i s Karadjovtsi.
Zarochal Delyo, purochal
dari der skimnem aene,
aene kabadaylie.
- V selono imam dve leli,
da mi gi ne poturchite,
da mi gi ne poturchite,
chi ga si slezem w selono,
mnochko shtat mayki da plaknat,
po-mnochko, mladi nevesti.

Translation... Could someone translate this into English for me please? 
This is as best as YouTube translator could do:

Izlel e Delyo haydutin, 
haydutin enkesadjie, 
s Dumbovtsi is Karadjovtsi. 
Zarochal Delyo, purochal 
gifts der skimnem aene, 
aene kabadaylie. 
- In selon have two Leli, 
that we shall not poturchite, 
that we shall not poturchite, 
chi you're slezi w Selon, 
mnochko shtat mayki to plaknat, 
in mnochko young bride.

+Laveta Osborne Hi there, I can give you some historical multicultural facts, about this song! It comes from a region within BG that is known with his multiracial diversification, however ( you can imagine) it is one of the most enriched cultural regions. So here goes explanation:

Bulgarians have been under 500 years of Otoman slavery (none of these years have breaken their/our spirit) and that is something you can hear in the bulgarian folklor music, it has affected us over the years and the music was the only way to express our mind and soul without being censored by the higher power which ruled the BG country at that time! The song is so complicated to understand (becouse of the time it has been a part of) that it has 3 different translations, if you insicist I can translate them but I would rather not right now  :)
