    Default New song sung by Mustafa Sabanovic

    Hi,

    I am trying to find the lyrics to the following song by Mustafa Sabanovic (also with Jelena Markovic). It seems to be reasonably new. Here are links to two versions:

    It seems to be called "suzi bori isi man" or "suzi bori isiman", although in one version they sing "lepotica bori isiman". I'm not sure what language this is, maybe Turkish? It's a hot song, I am transcribing it to do with my band.

    Thanks in advance!!!

    For the inexpert, it may look like Serbian, Croatian or Macedonian, but I am pretty sure that it's Romani, gypsy language.
    And Mustafa Šabanović is a native Roma, I believe (no Sinto, that's for sure), though he lives in Serbia.

    Yes, I guess the song sounds music-wise somewhere in between some Turkish pop stuff and gypsy stuff. I know for sure it's not Serbian, I asked my friend who is fluent and she says it's not. I know "aman" is a word used in some Turkish songs but I think it's also in some other languages too. So I think you are right, probably it's in Romani?

    I guess so.

    So, does anyone know Romani and can get these lyrics down?
