Any time mate, if I hear any other song that is common, i'll post that too...

Cheers

Makedonas,

The song "Stani mome da zaigrash" is older than 100 years. It originates somewhere from the Bitola, Lerin region. We find it in various areas in Macedonia with several versions. The earilest recording (that I know of) is from early '50.

By its form it has a lot of arabic (Turkik) influence. It is a cocek (type of dance).

Here is one other song that I like a lot:

Ayde slushay, slushay
Kalesh bre Angyo
Shto tambura sviri
Ayde slushay, slushay
Kalesh bre Angyo
Shto tambura sviri

Ayde, slusham, slusham
Kleto bre Turche
Turski ne razbiram
Ayde, slusham, slusham
Kleto bre Turche
Turski ne razbiram

Tamburata sviri
Kalesh bre Angyo
Anama da bide

Na chardak da sedish
Kalesh bre Angyo
Zholtitsi da broish
Na chardak da sedish
Kalesh bre Angyo
Zholtitsi da broish

[Maknews: I corrected your lyrics of this wonderful song by ear]

Filip, me zakati. What a great song. I have visions of my father and his mates singing this song a long long time ago.

Crna se cuma zadade
tam dolu Demir Kapija
tam zalna Makedonija.
Koj ke se junak odbere
cumata da ja propadi?

Izbral se Delcev, Goce vojvoda,
on ojde v Makedonija,
cumata da ja propadi
od zalna Makedonija.

Koj ide gore niz gora,
dal mi se Turci poganci?
Ne mi se Turci poganci,
tuk mi se odbor druzina,
ranet mi drugar nosea.

So kursum junak pronizan
od leva strana vo srce,
mlad Delcev, Goce vojvoda.

Delcev druzina govori:
Druzino, verna zgovorna,
vie ke utre vrvite,
komu ke me ostavite,
vodicka da mi podade,
srceto da si razladam,
ustata da si rasvkasam?

Druzino, moi komiti,
koga ke vie minete
niz moja grada Kukusa,
majka mi ke ve preceka,
za mene ke ve opita:
---Deka e Delcev vojvoda?
vie nejze ke i kazete:
---Delcev se junak posvrsi,
za crna zemja robinka.

Filip mate keep them coming. Mi cini cel Soros go ukrade.
