SERBIAN MUSIC OF THE WEEK 

Biljana Krstić, Serbian singer has one of the greatest voices ever. This song "Petlovi pojev" or "Roosters singing" is an emotional song which depicts life in the ''Heart" of Serbia. Serbian people consider the region Šumadija as the Heart of Serbia. However, in my personal opinion, "Heart" spreads from Šumadija to Pomoravlje.

This song tells about how roosters are singing in the morning, in the Serbian village near river Morava. A man wants to get up but his darling tells him that roosters are lying, that dawn is still far away, and that he should come back to bed and her arms. 

There are many version of this song, but I will present you the two versions, one sung by Bilja Krstić, the other sung by Staniša Stošić, who was also a great Serbian singer.
