My grandparents lived in a small village in Bosnia, where I spent many a happy summer as a kid. This video consists of my own recent photos as well as family photos and home movies from the early '80s. The song is by Đorđe Balašević: "Sevdalinka".

  • I downloaded that song 5 or 6 years ago, and find it so beautiful.I listened to many voices under Sevdalinka and recognized the voice of Đorđe Balašević:.I was so thrilled to find it.

    Your photos are wonderful.

    What has made the village look different?Time, the war?

    Thank you for posting this.I am not Bosnian, not can I read the language , but I recognized fine music with much heart and love in it.Your Photos are just what I thought it would be.

  • Hi, freshgreens,

    I'm really glad you like the song. However, I find that the real beauty of Balašević's songs lies in his lyrics - this one is about the war in Bosnia (hence the photos - the village was one of the victims of that war,now it is not half the place it used to be).

    If I may be so forward, may I recommend you my other video ("Man with moonlight in his eyes"), where I tried to translate the lyrics of another song, in an attempt to introduce it to my foreign friends?

see all
