Zajdi, zajdi ~ Set, Set

Zajdi, zajdi jasno sonce ~ Set, set bright sun,

zajdi pomraci se ~ Set, blackout

i ti jasna le mesecino ~ And you clear moonlight too,

begaj udavi se ~ Run away, drown yourself

Crni goro, crni sestro ~ Sorrowful forest, sorrowful sister,

dvajca da crnejme ~ Let us sorrow together

ti za tvojte lisja le goro ~ You -- for your leaves, forest

jas za mojta mladost ~ Me -- for my youth.

Tvojte lisja goro sestro ~ Your leaves, forest -- my sister,

pak ke ti se povratat ~ Are going to get back to you

mojta mladost goro le sestro ~ My youth, forest -- my sister,

nema da se vrati ~ It's not coming back.

It is interesting to sing in the church, because of its special acoustic. I was singing and playing in some of them, and it was exciting. The arts have no religion's limits or borders. Ms. Medunjanin, a big congrats for you and this man.

na Balkanu su se pesme prenosile jer pesma nema granicu, a mi smo svi isti narod Sloveni i gde god smo isli nosili smo svoju muziku sa sobom. i tako je doneli na balkan, jer nas narod je Nomadski paganski narod.. sve razlike medju nama su nastale uticajem drugih naroda i kultura, doduse uticali su i na muziku kasnije, ali sustina je ostala ista.

Ne mozes ti donositi pjesmu a nisi u njoj, ni ona u tebi. Pjevac i pjesma moraju imati medjusobno prepoznavanje. Moraju prvo odasikovati, svidjeti se jedno drugome. Amirin habitus je dabome, bez pogovora, more siroko, mavi, u kojem je toliko mjesta da se pjesma u njoj osjeca slobodna, kraljicom. A meni sve nesta govori da je i Amira pjesmi - kraljica.
