Thanks for the wondeful post.

I've loved this tune by the Women for a long time now. It's simply excellent. There's a different studio version I like even more, but this is great!

One of the best Bulgarian folk songs ever and my very favorite one!

Strandzha mountain's soul!

Just wondering.. why only 3500 views...? Can't comprehend that:[

- THE D I V I N E -

[tanqart]

Калиманко Денко, калиманко мари, хубава,

досега си ми била, Денко мари, калиманка.

Отсега нанасетне, Денко мари, първо любе.

Изгори ме, Денко мари, попари ме,

та ме стори, Денко, калиманко мари,

сухо дърво, сухо дърво, Денко, калиманко мари, орехово.

This is such a beautiful song. Can someone tell me where I can find a translation of the lyrics?

[jenyik]

it doesn't do justice to the lyrics, it sounds much better in Bulgarian, but here is a try:

Kalimanku Denku, oh you beautiful,

you've been my godmother until now

from now on, my first beloved.

You burned me, Denku, felled me,

you turned me into a dry tree, Denku,

a dry walnut tree.

[thaumata]

Thank you so much! I looked all around for this but wasn't able to find one. This has been a favorite song of mine for a long, long time and it's nice to know what they're saying. Cheers!

[jenyik]

You're welcome. It's a favorite of mine too :)
