Beautiful violin, Marica. I love the folk song too. I did not understand it but it felt like the song is calling out to someone/something and then having the determination to go running towards that someone.

Haha. You are very close. Heres a crude translation. You almost guessed it. 😁
Jovano, Jovanke,
You sit by the Vardar
Bleaching your white linen
Bleaching your white linen, my dear,.
Looking at the hills
Jovano, jovanke,
I'm waiting for you
to come to my home
And you don't come, my dear
My heart, Jovano.
Jovano, jovanke,
Your mother
won't let you go
to come to me
My heart, Jovano.
Thanks for the translation. That's quite a sad tale :( They got a Romeo & Juliet thing going on.
But you are proven correct, even if I did not understand it, the music and feelings behind it are universal. Surely tugged my heart strings :)
Its even more sad considering the time it was written in 100-maybe even 200 years ago. The family dynamic was much more strict back then.
Even i didnt know what the lyrics were exactly before you asked. Haha. Their language is similar but not the same.
