I don't follow the lyrics, but the song sounds very much like the song 'Sar planino'

I agree sounds like a cheap rip off.

[Risto the Great]

Ogreala yasna dzvezda.

Who does not understand this?

Cheap rip off? They are Macedonians performing a Macedonian song, in the way it is done in their particular area.

I can show you plenty of 'cheap rip off' songs from ROM, where they have done remakes of older songs, one of them being sar planina itself, where there are at least a handful of different versions of it.

Applaud our brothers and sisters from the Aegean, the Macedonian spirit still lives in them, Neka grea yasnite Dzevzdi!

[Risto the Great]

SoM, thanks for the comment. I almost could not be bothered mentioning the struggle of Macedonians in Greece. Some might call it weak but Macedonian songs sung in Greece are as significant as women burning bras a while back.

The opening words to the song bring "hope" as soon as you hear them. And some can't understand this? Here is a tip, let go of Yugoslavia and Serbian love songs ... embrace a Macedonian language that we all shared as little as 50 years ago. Sure there were some minor differences in Egej, but they were extremely unique and largely forgotten as the literary language took over in RoM. For the benefit of Macedonian pride I simply cannot understand why words such as "Spolaj Ti" are not in every day parlance in RoM. They are ours and they are exquisitely unique.

"Gredam" is another one.

What have we lost and what have we gained in the last 50 years from a language point of view?

Absolutely SoM. If this one is a rip off, it works for the Macedonians listening to it and is superior to some TurboSerboBulgaro crap.

Sorry if it offends, I am not having a Yugo-nostalgic day today.

Hey all! Just made a comment on the music and that it sounded like another Macedonian sound! Nothing intended or implied by it, what so ever. I heard it through my crappy laptop speakers . . . so easy on there Risto the Great and Soldier of Macedon. More than aware of all points raised regarding the struggles in Egej. Further, I totally support the points in regards to turbo, serbian, yugo etc, the less of that genre penetrating the main stream the better.

Brygian Seed, it wasn't in response to your comment.

[BigMak]

For fuck sake thanks for the unjust attacks, I to was referring to the sound of this particular song.

No need for the head banging

And in reality this particular singer carry's the song as if it was sung in greek, I as a Macedonian have no interest in listening to such poor quality Macedonian drivel.

WE ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE SINGING AND THE SONG are we not.
