Thanks! They sound great, and also it is a traditional Serbian song from Kosovo. :smile:

Here is another traditional Serbian song from Kosovo. I found this Greek musician and singer just yesterday, Youtube channel name Farya Faraji, and he's fantastic. He sings music from various different cultures in traditional way, using traditional instruments. And, being Greek, his Serbian is surprisingly perfect. :cool:

I'll copy his description of the video.

Vocals and arrangement by Farya Faraji. With this one, much like with Dzino Dzino, I wanted to capture the sound of the Balkans between the 16th to 19th centuries. During this period, the use of the Šargija was much more widespread; it is a family instrument closely related to the Saz family of Turkish music, and usually accepted as being descended from the latter. In this arrangement, I studied the sound of different Šargija instruments from Serbian and Bulgarian music, and settled on using my kopuz, which, I believe, produces a sound identical to many recordings, probably due to its very similar build and common roots. The other instrument accompanying the piece is the kaval, the ubiquitous flute of the Balkans. In terms of vocals, I used the typical forms of Balkan polyphony in which a second voice accompanies the main vocals by providing drone notes that are sustained for most of the melody, and only change at critical points of the melody. I also tried capturing the vocal techniques of Balkanic singing, such as the "goat vibrato" where singers rapidly vibrate their throats, a technique commonly used by Serbian guslars.


Oh, rose ruddy

Oh, rose ruddy,
why have you blossomed so early?

You blossomed too early,
why have you, my rose, dropped your head?

My dear has gone,
he's gone far away from me.

For three high mountains,
for three deep rivers.

He will not come back to me,
nor after 2, nor after 3 years...

To get this bill passed so early in Trump's term is very important. It is clear the democrats are going to make the bill their cornerstone of the 2026 mid terms. By passing the bill its benefits will be well known by the mid terms.

I suggest Trump just sit back and the let the bill take effect. No need for him to keep selling. It will sell itself.

LOL! So the Rabi was totally honest?
It all makes sense, these were heretical Jooos, a term yet entered into the verbiage for centuries to come, but none the less, the Jews were also despised by their own people of the time.
What would they have been called?
Forgive t
Vox Day introduced me to Michael Hudson. His book ...and forgive them their debts: Lending, Foreclosure and Redemption From Bronze Age Finance to the Jubilee Year
goes into how the Babylonians used to forgive consumer debts. The original Lords prayer called for this.

I have not read it. I do not trust the MSM to summarize it. i.e. Trump throws widows and orphans out in the streets.

I trust Musk more than Trump. I am guessing it is big bad porkulus. IMO US defense spending should be cut in half just to start. They mostly do not defend us from anyone.

The Da Viets abandoned their capital city. Then attacked the Mongol supply lines. The Mongol horses had no grass. Lots of guerilla attacks. Traps. Disease. More food supply destruction. Then a second attack with similar results.  Wood stakes  tipped with iron driven into river beds. Mongols entered at high tide. At low tide the spikes punctured the Mongol boats. Then Viets counter attacked. Mongols were crushed. 1288.

I recall she also was pissed that Ukraine is persecuting the Ukrainian Orthodox Church
https://t.me/ZradaXXII/42588
⚠️Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) announces she will NOT vote for any more Ukraine funding.

Her reasons:
- Zelensky canceled elections
- US weapons reportedly being sold on the black market
- "Disrespected" Trump, Vance
- "Billions have been laundered there"
- Put American journalists on a "blacklist"

A lot is happening, and a lot of science backing her prediction.
Even Lei talks about it.
