I've just heard Pasha Hristova - "edna bulgarska roza" and it crossed my mind to post it here for people loving Bulgaria.There's a thread bout Bulgarian pop-folk and it's ashaming to miss our folk songs
If u like some Bulgarian native song, post it here I'll show u my faves
Also Bulgarian estrade has much to show.

.... these are just some of my favorites :}

My favorite Bulgarian Folk-Song is

Зайди, Зайди (I think that's what Its called)

"Зайди, зайди, ясно слънце"? :]

Thats the one! I love that woman's voice

Now let`s make a quick transl. of my favourite traditional folklore song - "Prituri sa planinata"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Atzqy...eature=related

This is the interpretation of my favourite folklore singer - Stefka Sabotinova. She is a solist in the "Mystery of the bulgarian voices". She is the only one bulgarian folklore singer who has won the Grammy Award. Very talanted, must hear.

Here os the vodeo of the song (made by some french guy )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD3bi...eature=related

Now the lyrics:

Притури са Планината,
/prituri sa planinata/
The mountain has crushed*!
че затрупа два овчаря,
/che zatrupa dva ovcharya/
And she overhelmed 2 sheperdes
два овчаря, два другаря.
/dva ovcharya, dva drugarya/
2 sheperds, 2 fellows.

Първи овчар ѝ се моли :
/parvi ovchar i se moli/
First sheperd begs her
« Имам либе да ме жали. »
/imam libe da me zhali/
I have a wife to spare
Втори овчар ѝ се моли :
/vtori ovchar i se moli/
Second sheperd begs her
« Имам майка да ме жали. »
/imam mayka da me zhali/
I have a mother to spare.

Проговаря Планината :
/progovarya planinata/
The mountain talks to them :
« Ой ви вази, два овчаря,
/oy vi vazi dva ovcharya/
Oh you two sheperds
либе жали ден до пладне,
/libe zhali den do pladne/
Wife spares from morning till noon
майка жали чак до гроба ! »
/mayka zhali chak do groba/
Mother spares till she dies

Притури са Планината,
/prituri sa planinata/
The mountain has crushed
че затрупа два овчаря.
/che zatrupa dva ovcharya/
And she overhelmed two sheperds


* I`m not sure is that the right translation of the word, but is similar to the original

My favourite song is "Daniova mama" but that one sung by Blinka Dobreva Well I can hardly understand her, is she singing in like some kind of archeic bulgarian ?

yes of course.. but I can translate it to u

That would be very nice of you

Даньова мама думаше,
Danio's mother was saying
Даньо ле синко, Даньо ле,
Danio ,my son,Danio
кандисах мама, сандисах
I'm tired my dear,I can't stand it

Кандисах мама, сандисах
I'm tired my dear,I can't stand it
от бащините ядове,
ur fahther's anger
от бащините кахъри.
ur father's sorrows

Когато бяхте в люлка,
When u were in the craddle
баща ви мене остави,
ur father left me
и в Балкана отиде.
and went to the Balkan(to the mountain)

Гледах ва мама, отгледах,
I looked for u my dear,I raised u
кога големи станахте,
when u grew up
и ви Балкана хванахте.
u went to the Balkan too.

Елате мама, елате
Come here,my dear,come here
сватбите да ви направя
I wanna make ur weddings
на снахи да се порадвам.
to have joy with dauthers-in-law (haha this is very funny in English)

На снахи да се нагледам,
To watch my daughters-in-law
и дребни внуци да отгледам.
and to raise little grandsons.

That's it

Most of our folklore songs are sang in an old bulgarian language (In fact the bulgarian language changes in every day. So what can we say for ...20 years So that`s why it`s so dificult for us to translate our folk songs. And when you put our dialects in the mixture there happens a thing we call манджа с грозде

манджа с грозде ... sounds like something to eat xD
