Oh, the intense balkan ballad, how I’ve missed you! With communist military drumming in the background, indecipherable lyrics and ballet dancers strutting about with red flags… oh, it’s enough to make the capitalists break out in hives. Wonderfully weird, but not exactly one you’ll be singing along to. Loving it, loving it, loving it. Now if only I knew what the hell you were singing about.

its actually a song about the Bosnian/Serbian war.
really beautiful and intense
i can translate it for u:
I’ve asked some people in my neighborhood
where does my soul live
Because a secret for me
they say you’re keeping, my dear
I’ve asked them to give me back
the time, days, hours,
There’s love scent
in the Spring
they say
Give me birth
at a May dawn
Bathe me
in clear water
I’m keeping a flower
when everybody else leaves
I’m keeping you
for as long as I live
Steal a bit of sun for us
there’s no tomorrow, no today
It’s easy
when a song finds your heart
Give me birth
at a May dawn
Bathe me
in clear water
I’m keeping a flower
when everybody else leaves
I’m keeping you
for as long as I live
Give me birth
at a May dawn
Bathe me
in clear water
I’m keeping a flower
when everybody else leaves
I’m keeping you
for as long as I live
