This clip shows the whole song from a poem by Luben Karavelov ” Hubava si moia goro” ( You are beautiful, my forest) The clip is incorporated with footage from a historic Bulgarian film.
Sang by the Bulgarian Women’s Choir – Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares. This is the most popular version of the song where only the first two verses of the poem are sang
Lyrics (these are the first two verses, with my very rough translation)
Хубава си моя горо, (you are beautiful my forest)
Миришеш на младост. (you smell like youth)
Но вселяваш в сърца ни (but you bring to our hearts)
Само скръб и жалост. (only sadness )
Който веднъж те погледне, (if someone sees you once)
Той вечно жалее, (he is always grieving)
Че не може под твоите (that he cannot)
Сенки да изтлее. (spend the rest of his life, under your shade)
