A young girl is praying to god.
Please god give me eyes of a dove,
please god give me wings of a falcon,
so I can fly over Dunav river,
so I can find a boy that I love.
And god gave her wings of a falcon.
And she found a boy that she loves.
Malka moma si se Bogu moli:
Day mi , Boże , oczi Golwbowi,
Day mi, Boże , kriltsa sokolovi,
Da si vozna otvad beli Dunav,
Da ci najda momcze spored mene,

Bog i dade kriltsa sokolovi,
Ta si nayde momcze spored neja

Yanka Rupkina played a major role in the growing popularity of Balkan music in the 1980s. Together with Stoyanka Boneva and Eva Georgieva, Rupkina formed the Trio Bulgarka, a vocal group affiliated with La Mystere Des Voix Bulgares. In addition to recording their own albums, Rupkina and Trio Bulgarka provided vocal harmonies for Kate Bush's albums, The Sensual World and The Red Shoes. Rupkina subsequently performed as a solist for the national television and radio Bulgaria group, the Balkana.
The Bulgarian State Radio and Television Female Vocal Choir is an internationally renowned World Music ensemble that blends traditional six-part a capella repertoire with modern arrangements. It is most recognized under the recording name Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares. First created in Bulgaria in 1952 by Philip Koutev, "the father of Bulgarian concert folk music," the choir is now under the direction of Dora Hristova. Koutev also created and conducted the Ensemble of the Bulgarian Republic in 1951.
Singers are chosen from country villages for the beauty and openness of their voices, and they undergo extensive training in the unique centuries' old singing style. Influenced by Bulgaria's Thracian, Ottoman and Byzantine history, their music is striking in its use of diaphonic singing and distinctive timbre, as well as its modal scales and dissonant harmonies (abundant second, seventh, and ninth intervals).
Though the choir became widely known when the trend-setting English alternative record label 4AD released a pair of anthology albums in 1986 and 1988 with the now famous title Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares, their recordings date as far back as 1957. The first pressing of the Voix Bulgares album was the result of fifteen years of work by Swiss ethnomusicologist and producer Marcel Cellier and was originally released in 1975 on his small Discs Cellier label. Ivo Watts-Russell (founder of 4AD) was introduced to the choir from a third or fourth generation audio cassette lent to him by Peter Murphy, singer from the band Bauhaus. He became thoroughly entranced by the music, and tracked down and licensed the recordings from Cellier. The group has since performed extensively around the world to wide acclaim and were honored with a Grammy Award in 1989 for their second album.
Three prominent soloists of the group have also performed together as the Trio Bulgarka, notably on the Kate Bush albums The Sensual World and The Red Shoes.
In 1992, the choir divided into two: one for radio, one for television. Bulgarian television signed a contract with the one half, which is the Bulgarian State Television Female Vocal Choir; the other half organised itself as a collective, and now performs as The Bulgarian Voices ANGELITE

Lyrics :
I'm just sitting here, tryna
Forget bout all those years, and I
I can't take the thought of him
Alone with you (alone with you)
It's been a year or so, and you
Moved on and left me cold, and I
I wish that I could let you know
That I still got a thang for you
But you got another man
He says he loves you too
Baby girl I understand
This must be hard on you
And it gets so hard sometimes
To know just what to do
Stuck in the middle with you
[Chrous:]
You and I
Through it all
Sunny days
Through the storms
Still I know
He could never love you like me
Girl I know he and you going new
He messed it up with it all
No he could never love you like me
Can we go back again as lovers not as friends
'Cause I know
He could never love you like me
Girl I've been there before
Time to close that open door, I know
That he could never love you like me
I was the one you came running to
When tears would fall from what he do
Who knew that friends would become lovers
Going crazy giving my all but getting half o' you
I'm not half the man so tell me what to do
Never gonna let you go, no
'Cause you know our love is true
Babe you got another man
But he's not there for you
Baby girl I understand
But this ain't all on you
And it gets so hard sometimes
To know just what to do
Stuck in the middle with you
[Chorus:]
You and I
Through it all
Sunny days
Through the storms
Still I know
He could never love you like me
Girl I know he and you going new
He messed it up with it all
No he could never love you like me
Can we go back again as lovers not as friends
'Cause I know
He could never love you like me
Girl I've been there before
Time to close that open door, I know
That he could never love you like me
I know
That you will never find another love like
Me and you can look but won't find another man like
Me and even though you might have seperated from me
Gotta make a choice can't wait forever
[Chorus:]
You and I
Through it all
Sunny days
Through the storms
Still I know
He could never love you like me
Girl I know he and you going new
He messed it up with it all
No he could never love you like me
Can we go back again as lovers not as friends
'Cause I know
He could never love you like me
Girl I've been there before
Time to close that open door, I know
That he could never love you like me
