Zaspo Janko - German Girl Sings Croatian Folk Song

[Lyrics and English translation below] Bok! I am Xenia from Germany and in this years spring I have spend 2 months in Latinovac, a 60-inhabitant village in Eastern Croatia and volunteered in the local Eko Centar. As we were an international group, I did not catch up a lot of the beautiful Croatian language, mainly only countryside survival words like „molim“ (please), „krumpir“ (potato), „hvala“ (thank you), „kruh“ (bread) and most importantly „polako“ (slowly!). When a Slovenian friend of mine recently introduced me to this amazing Serbo-Croatian folk song, it gave me flashbacks to this experience and I immediately fell in love with the melody. So... here is my cover version of it :) (Also, there has been a discussion in the comment section of Croatian as well as Serbian people claiming this song to be their cultural heritage. There is no doubt about that this song existed in both countries and it might be hard, even impossible to tell now where exactly it originated from, especially when some decades ago the borders that define Serbia and Croatia nowadays did not exist like that. Regarding this video, I used a Croatian version of the Bilogora region as a base for the cover.) http://www.folkloretanznoten.de/Zaspo... Lyrics Zaspo Janko pod jablanom Svoje mile drage Lepe moje crne oči Pogledajte na me Pod jablanom zlatnom granom Svoje mile drage Lepe moje crne oči Pogledajte na me Ja otrgo zlatnu granu Moje mile drage Lepe moje crne oči Pogledajte na me English translation Janko fell asleep under the poplar My dear and beloved My beautiful black eyes Look at me   Under the poplar's golden branch My dear and beloved My beautiful black eyes Look at me   I tore the golden branch, My dear and beloved My beautiful black eyes Look at me Women used to sing this song at funerals when a young person has died.
