Ederlezi Avela Lyrics
Goran Bregovic
Lyrics
Pravdiloda daye bre
jek kalo sabata.
Alo mange liloro,
me ki vojska te dzav.
Uke kotar daye bre
jekh kalo pampuri.
Amaneti daye,
te mishta menaya.
Ederlezi avela,
me khere na sijom.
ala loko nashti ljam
me dayatar me dade.
Ma rov daye gudlije,
pale ka avav mange.
Ederlezi ka avel,
meda kere ka avav.
