Hi
This is Banu who is a fan of Balkan music & culture from Istanbul.
I was just 9 years old when I first listent to a song from Balkans, and that was it... I was deep in love simply!
Now I'm trying to collect any albums of Balkan bands (and Brass bands) I can find in Istanbul (and of course with a reasonable price lol)
Yesterday I bought an albume of Fanfare Ciocarlia ~ Iag Bari
I've been listening the song "Lume, lume" a thousand time since I bought it!
Just magical... (And maybe because I've been to two funerals of my dearest uncles since the new year's eve)
All I understand from google searches that the song is about the meaning of life and death. But unfortunatelly I don't know Romani (if the song is in Romani though)
As a new member I'd be so pleased if someone could translate the lyrics of "Lume, lume" to English. (I'm sorry if it's already translated in here, but I couldn't find it inside the forum)
Thank you all,
Best wishes from Istanbul,
Banu
