dzanum - from turkish word canım = my darling or sweetheart
more - old word; i also do not know real translation

If u dont understand something, please ask!

Hvala ti, sad razumem pesmu, samo nam fali ova rec "more"

More is a buzzword, colloquialism. I think it's from Turkish, but not sure. It's imposible to translate it, and use of it you only can understand if you live with people that use words like "more", "bre", "aman" ....

Aha, something like "bolan"
Yep, I have to live down there before getting the use of those small words. My former teacher tried once to explain the use of "bre" – but I am still not quite sure if I got it We don't have an equivalent in Swedish, so that makes it a little troublesome.

Yes, like "bolan" or "bona"

I'm sure that you'll understand it when you come here

"bre".....Romania its a country "between" Serbia and Turkiya...The turkish "bre" is in romanian language also...we use as "imperatif" or "polite" pronome for [Hey you]...However isn't "legally" a pronome...And something more i need to add Isn't at all a "polite" word but still the youg ones use it as a {polite pronome}...
"aman"....Its just an interjection...in turkish language ....could mena a lot of things depends on the context..."omg,off,...."


About this song is great...love serbian folclore...:X

I think there's no explaination for it.. You just put it wherever you want (most commonly after the verb.. any verb)...
