Beirut - Ederlezi (Goran Bregovic cover)

[FraeuleinDuchowa]

tradition can be so young!

[Heartlessiceboy]

Yes but Bregovic is not the author of the song,I remember my great grandmother singing it...I didn't know that was part of Beirut repertoire when I clicked the link and started to hear the brass inmediatly started to cry...It's a amazing version cause even is lacking all the orchestra and choir from Bregovic's version it is very touching

[poikoplas]

True, their version is full of passion. As for the song itself, cos of Bregović it's sometimes said to be Serbian. It's of Gypsy origins, that's for sure.

[rematana]

@poikoplas

Serbian doesn't means gypsy..

[gettherefas]

@Heartlessiceboy entonces quien es el autor?

[jpirizarry]

Goran Bregovic's version still much better of course, but Beirut's performance is very soulful as always. Bravo

[elifistanb]

beirut'u deli gibi seviyorum! lütfen Türkiye'ye gelsinler! her sene her sene!!

Love beirut so much! I want them in Turkey..each and every year!!!

[kcybii]

the instrumental part is good, no lie- but it's when they open their mouths they completely ruin the song... they look like they're drunkenly singing it. :L

[tpeterson83]

kakve veze ima narodnost sa owim? usput, brega je hrwat (otac mu je te narodnosti), ali kakwe weze to treba da ima sa owim? jebo nacionalnost, to i jeste ono sto nas zawadi...

[nikvist25]

but you had to mention nationality not that it's on your mind.

Zack C. is unique as the rest members of Beirut

[berniepolak]

'Tis good to see that this song has made its way to the USA from the Balkans. Congrats to Zach Condon for bringin' it home. Whether or not EDERLEZI/DJURDJEVDAN will ring a bell as to what else America is missing out on, music-wise in Eastern Europe remains to be seen......

[sciure]

I hate the shouting from the audience too

still this video is wonderful ! ! ! ! !

[tanstil]

This song was in the greek movie "Balcanica"...

The cover is great! Bravo Beirut!

[alexandrialeaving]

Actually, no, it was the music for Time of the Gypsies (Emir Kusturica)

[litenflugskit]

Johan var grymmast

[litenflugskit]

[akycow]

Awesome!

[sonaromroK]

damn!

[Illyricum1943]

I just wanted to clarify that the song Djurdjevdan in SerboCroatian is not about "nature, and stars" but about being without the one he loves, on Djurdjevdan. And it's on May 6.

[nyc10024usa]

No, it is on April 23!And YES I am Serb.

BTW Momci dobro sviraju!

[serikan40]

[NYCILI]

i think they did a great job. music is a celebration they nothing wrong.

[boyandobrev]

what a disgrace of the song. someone should have told them idiots they are not supposed to have fun at this song - it is a serious and sad song. it's like the bishop jumping around and laughing while reading liturgy. shame!

[abirge]

you are ridiculous.

[McNorris]

Gorgeous. I love it when they play this.

[ciribiribela01]

awful , just simple awful !!!!! a disgrace for the original version "djurdjevdan"... goran where is your sense of shame ????

[cipsofulya]

this is beirut,not goran

[danipickledyou]

[xanderlev1]

are you serious?

[dannaaaah]

ah, they look like they are having so much fun. best band EVERRRR

[bici79]

Nothing but Balkan Music :)

[yefimia]

Ederlezi means "Spring" on zigane language!

[minhali]

Ederlezi is Turkish, the names of two prophets, Hidir (=Eder, protects animals and poor people, brings abundance) and Ilyas (=Elezi, protects waters and animals, gives health). They meet on the night of April 22 (May 5 Julian) to revive nature. This is the Anatolian version of St George (Greek "worker of the earth," blesses water, plants, animals, replaces spring gods). The Roma song says that the gypsy has no lamb to roast for Ederlezi. The Serbian Djurdjevdan is about nature, stars.

[abirge]

this is amazing. thank you for posting this.

[shinoharataro]

condon rules!!!!

[barmenmehmet]

Awesome

[rogi32]

Its Romani Langauge from Macedonia

[burakseen]

süper coverlamışlar da ne oluyo burda türk işi değil flan ne diyonuz

[Kaaos82]

the proper language coin is "Romany"

They are singing about Saint Georges day, and the translated title of the song is "The Lily Of The Valley"

[Lidija121]

It's Gypsy.

[mrmajestik1111]

If you say it's not turkish, at least post what language it is in. Either way its a great cover of a great song.

[Sintoy]

bosnian

[Tamy8]

It's not turkish. It's the original song text.

[bbbdinamo22]

I am just saying it is not the original song text. If it was the title would be "Đurđevdan".

[Tamy8]

I know. I meant it's the original text of the song "Ederlezi".

[mrmajestik1111]

This is a cover of Goran Bregovic's "Ederlezi". I believe the lyrics are turkish.

[dafritch]

Thanks for all the Beirut videos. Awesome!

I like that new one especially.
