Traditional Costumes of Thrace

The song is ΜΙΑ ΚΟΡΗ ΜΙΑ ΔΙΑΒΑΤΙΣΣΑ - 'Mia Kori mia diavatissa' - ('A Lass is Passing by'), taken from Guardians of Hellenism VOL 6 THRACE. The singer is famous Thracian Chronis Aidonidis (Χρόνης Αηδονίδης).

The areas of Thrace (Θράκη) shown in the video are: Xanthi (Ξάνθη), Rhodope (Ροδόπη) and Evros (Έβρου), which are in Greece. Kavakli is in Northern Thrace, which is in present day Bulgaria, and Makra Gefyra is in Eastern Thrace, which is in present day Turkey.

In Rhodopi, showcased are the Sarakatsani (Σαρακατσάνοι), the ancient shepherd tribe that has scattered all over Greece.

More on the song:

A Karsilamas from Western Thrace. The subject is common to many songs and is about the recognition of the woman by the husband.

Translation:

A lass, aman aman, a lass was passing by
A lass was passing by, a blue-eyed one,
When she goes in to weave, the trees and branches wither,
A passer by went by, the lass he greeted.

He greets her, she replies not, says not good day,
My lass, aman aman, my lass why don't you marry,
My lass why don't you marry and enjoy your youth,
And take a lad like a star, like the moon.

How can, aman aman, how can you tell me marry,
How can you tell me marry, when I have a husband,
A soldier, who has been gone, alas, these four years.

In Evros, the municipalities covered are: Alexandroupoli (Αλεξανδρούπολη) , Didymoteicho (Διδυμότειχο), Metaxades (Μεταξάδες), Soufli (Σουφλί) and Vyssa (Βύσσα).

@SirGeorge8600 Only when you write ''macedonia'' and there are no reasons to comment it :D ..

''lowest average IQ in the Balkans''? This was silly bluff or silly lie? :) Well, the smartest woman on the earth is Daniela Simidchieva (Bulgarian woman), the one HUMAN who resolved the hardest math chalenge in the world is Bulgarian boy. ANd so on...

BUT THE ONE about who..the whole world laughting at is ... ''Macedonia''.

Brainwashed Bulgar you are :)

The only fact is the homosexuality is in the genes of the greeks, that's your only pride, as long as it can be considered such. While bulgARIANS have nothing to do with your lies.

@SirGeorge8600 You're silly parody of any form of life :D ... /

Its time your parrents to send you in school, idiot. :)

[SirGeorge8600]

@AryanBulgar lol as a Macedonian I say we are aryan...all the Bulgarians I have seen are hairy, dark, and nasty. Good luck lying to yourself. You've been raped by the ottomans for 600+ years and you call others gay? hahahahahahahah

[SirGeorge8600]

@MrSwatbg Average IQ of Bulgaria is 93...that's why you're a poor country with low literacy rates. Also according to sources Marilyn vos Savant is the smartest person and she is of Italian and German ancestry. I know who Daniela Simidchieva is, she tested at IQ 200, which is by no means the top. Like usual Bulgarians, you lie and lie and lie. I see you called the Greek guy an ethiopian, OUR genetic test was only said that and it also said that Bulgars were gypsie turks...fact. 

[SirGeorge8600]

@MrSwatbg lol learn English? You can't properly speak it either you bulgayrian. Give back Macedonia you country of the biggest Turkish minority and the lowest average IQ in the Balkans. LOL what a joke...get out the Balkans and go back to the middle east you hairy robbers of Macedonian history.

[SirGeorge8600]

@AryanBulgar Hey fucker, give back Macedonia. YOu Bulgarians all look like arab Turks and all of Europe knows this. FACT: BulGAYria has the biggest Turkish minority in the EU. LOL. Muslim fuckers....it's macedonia that is truly aryan. BulGAYria is a country of FUGLY women and hairy men.
