Goran Bregovic - Mesecina

Another unplugged masterpiece of Goran Bregovic and his south-eastern band. Brass and drums join together to provide a vivid framework for the wonderful voices of the backing vocals and Goran himself. Note the special tones and sounds specific to the music of the Balkans. This is common to all the cultures in this particular area.

Nema vise sunca
Nema vise meseca
Nema tebe, nema mene
Niceg vise, nema joj.
Pokriva nas ratna tama
Pokriva nas tama joj.
A ja se pitam moja draga
Sta ce biti sa nama?
Mesecina, mesecina,
joj, joj, joj, joj
Sunce sija ponoc bije,
joj, joj, joj, joj
Sa nebesa, zaproklija
Niko ne zna, niko ne zna
Niko ne zna, niko ne zna
Niko ne zna sta to sija

Goran Bregovic - Ederlezi

Why is the music of Eastern Europe so popular with the westerners?
Because the people living in this particular area live their lives. After 50 years of comunism - meanwhile the socialists in France for example were making plans and dreaming of the perfect society - suffered and had to hide their real feelings and emotions. But the amazing fact is that they did not lose their souls and kept living in the "underground".
A wonderful song from Goran Bregovic - Ederlezy. A song about hope and suffering.
