about

A traditional song and tune, once again touching on love gone wrong - our protagonist is reminding her unfaithful true love of the oaths that he once swore, and describing the curses now about to catch up with him because he broke those oaths.

This is a Macedonian song, with a time signature of 11/8 (and a bit, sometimes).

lyrics

Pomnish li libe todore,
Koga se dvitsa lubevme
U chi chovoto gradinche
Pod chi chovoto maslinche
U chi chovoto gradinche
Pod chi chovoto maslinche

Na edna granka stoevme
Vishne si stretsni zobevme
Luta si kletva da dovme
Koj prven ke se odzeni
Luta si kletva da dovme
Koj prven ke se odzeni
