Bulgarian song taught to Sonja Drakulich to sing in Bulgarian language by her Bulgarian singing teachers. (check StellaMara web site). Original name "Ti li si maistor Manole". Song not about town Strumica (check lyrics) but about bridge over river Struma (river in Bulgaria, check map). Strumica - town it today's FYRoM, formerly, when song was created, in Ottoman Turk Empire (check hystory). Song clearly not Turkish.

@nikolaaay I heard from some aromanians/vlachs that is about the construction of the bridge from Arta.

@nikolaaay That's so cool! We have the monastery were legends say it happened there a stone on the wall supposed to be related. It`s cool to discover such things! Perhaps is a old legend told by builders. anyway...romanians and bulgarians are very related let`s be honest.:) There a vlach song in Serbia (Timok valley) called "Cantecul lui Manoilo" /watch?v=RQYqBDH5A5A
Put, "&fmt=18" (without the ") after the URL to listen in Stereo and much better Audio Quality!
