Zajdi zajdi jasno sonce / Set, bright sun,
Zajdi pomrači se / Set and get dark
I ti jasnale, mesečino / And you, bright moonlight,
Begaj, udavi se / Go away, drown

Crnej goro, crnej sestro / Mourn, mountain, mourn, sister,
Dvajca da crnejme / We are both in mourning
Ti za tvojte lisja le, goro / You for your leaves, mountain,
Jas za mojta mladost / Me for my youth

Tvojte lisja, goro sestro /Your leaves, mountain, sister,
Pak ke ti se vratat / Will come back to you
Mojta mladost, goro le, sestro / My youth, mountain, sister,
Nema da se vrati / Never will.

TODOR TOŠE PROESKI 1981-2007
I invite you to click on the video below , and to enjoy this adapatation of an ancient and haunting song from Macedonia, sung so chillingly by the gifted late Tose Proevski.(If you press CTRL while clicking the link, you can enjoy the song while meditating on this picture, but Tose is beautiful to watch as he sings )

The song is a soulful serenade to the setting sun, the setting life.In its current form, the song was written by Macedonian singer-songwriter Aleksandar Sarievski. It is based on the texts of two earlier folk songs collected by the Bulgarian writer Lyuben Karavelov and published in Veliko Turnovo in 1878. (ref.:Wik)

The first time I heard this song, I was sitting at a late jazz club in Dubrovnik, and it was an instrumental version.For me there is something incredibly organic to this powerful song. There must be literally countless of versions, this one of Tose’s is particularly touching, as the superb youthful vocalist was tragically killed two years ago, and as one writer notes “little did he know the song would become his epitaph.”

This is a collage consisting of two of my shots, both superceded by others in the same shoot, (see these below) . I hope you agree these current shots can come together and find a place of their own here in my collection. The egret or heron shown here is one of our locals who has generously swooped over my head on several occasions. This bird represents “The Way” or “The Path” in Chinese symbolism.


*Here are the two shots that beat the two in the Zajdi Zajdi on the day of the shoot

  • rodeorose replied

    Thank-you so much Milos. This comment is especially meaningful for me bc you knew this gifted singer I imagine for longer and better than I do. I am always so inspired and moved when I watch and listen to his singing that I felt compelled to put something together in his honor.
