LoreenaMcKennitt-Sacred shabbat

This is a song from Loreenas album Mediterranean odyssey released in 2009.
This song has very interesting origin and background story. It descents from Balkan territory and every nation claims to have right on it! Therefore its melody can be found in tradition of all Balkans nations including Serbs, Greeks , Bosnians,Turks, Albanians and Bulgarians. The certain thing is that melody of this song has a Persian or Arabian origin but the accurate source is still unknown. So , its everybodys and nobodys song!
In 2003. Adela Peeva made a documentary about the song and its origin, called Whose is this song? .
Anyway, it is a great song and enjoy!

This is lyrics in Serbian:

Ruse kose curo imaš
Ruse kose curo imaš,
žališ li ih ti?

Aman, da ih žalim ne bi ti ih dala,
da ih mrsiš ti

Crne oči curo imaš,
žališ li ih ti?

Aman, da ih žalim ne bi ti ih dala,
da ih gledaš ti

Medna usta curo imaš,
žališ li ih ti?

Aman, da ih žalim ne bi ti ih dala,
da ih ljubiš ti.

and this is the link to one of the serbian version of this song:

İt's an old Ottoman (Turkish) song about a young Lady who felt in love to a young officer in Uskudar/Istanbul.

The only thng we should all say and agree is that the melody comes from the Balkan region...Serbs say its from Serbia, Bosnians from Bosnia, Bulgarians from Bulgaria..etc...

There was even a documentary about it, that people in this region are capable of starting a war or clash with neighbor, just to prove that this is part of their national identity..What they should be proud is that it comes from their region, NOT their country or nation. It is stupid to argue whose song is it.

Peace 2 all

to be honest, people, this song has been sang mostly in balkans, but its origin is from turkey, sang by a singer called Safiye Ayla, this song she performed for Kemal Ataturk in 1930s..

Vjeruj mi brate da jeistina, provjereno i potvrdjeno, mada cu se sloziti da je nasa verzija bolja, jer je, pa hvala bogu, na nasem jeziku.. ;-)

[caesareac]

üsküdara gideriken aldida bir yagmur,

katibimin etegi camur

basida mahmur

@NishLuka Take a look at this video on youtube: "Whose is this song ? Chija je ovo pesma ? Chia e tazi pesen?" It is not byzantium.

[NishLuka]

@Belgradeboy86 It is BYZANTIUM song.. that is why it is spread in all those countries ..

[NishLuka]

@heyjafjallajokull It can not be turkish ..It is BYZANTIUM melody..
