Čula Jesam - Croatian Song

Vocals & arrangement by Farya Faraji, violin by Mikhail Bugaev. This is a Croatian folk song from the region of Koprivnica, and the arrangement emulates the northeast Croatian sound that is similar to folk music in neighbouring regions of Hungary.

Lyrics in Croatian:
Čula jesam da se dragi ženi — srce moje!
Nek se ženi, to je drago meni — srce moje!
Jagoda črlen', jagoda malen'
Pozdravi mi v Koprivnici dragoga

Jagoda črlena, jagoda malen'
Pozdravi mi v Koprivnici dragoga

I ja ću mu u svatove doći — srce moje!
I ja ću mu lepi dar donesti — srce moje!
Jagoda črlena, jagoda malen'
Pozdravi mi v Koprivnici dragoga
Jagoda črlen', jagoda malena
Pozdravi mi v Koprivnici dragoga
V levoj ruki kitu ružmarina — srce moje!
V desnoj ruki malenoga sina — srce moje!

Jagoda črlena, jagoda malen'
Pozdravi mi v Koprivnici dragoga
Jagoda črlena, jagoda malen'
Pozdravi mi v Koprivnici dragoga
Jagoda črlena, jagoda malen'
Pozdravi mi v Koprivnici dragoga

English translation:
I did hear about my darling getting married,
I did hear about my darling getting married.

May he get married, I'm also glad.
May he get married, I'm also glad.

Well, I will too come to his wedding,
Oh, I will too come to his wedding.

I will bring him nice presents,
I will bring him nice presents.

In my left hand a rosemary bundle,*
In my left hand a rosemary bundle.

And in the right one my small son,
And in the right one my small son.

As a Croatian i really like way you sing and pronounce Croatian words. As always great work

[Krompierre.]

Your pronunciation is immaculate. If I didn't know your name, I wouldn't know that foreigner sang it. Greetings from croatia and I hope you'll keep blessing us (from the Balkans in general) with more music. I like them ALL.

[maksimovicdushan]

Things il never see in my life:
1. Second coming of Christ
2. Roman Empire
3. Farya disapointing with a song

[MisterBoggins]

"Croatia has been glorious - it's so beautiful, and I want to go back as often as I can."

Emilia Clarke

[lupus_lupi]

These kind of songs are typical for northern Croatia. There is one you might like a lot, V jutro rano stal se jesam, very very old song after which Haydn composed Kaiserhymne, melody that Germany uses today for national anthem

[mariuszzpomorza]

Greetings for all Croatians from Polish

[saniodigitalart]

Farya your Croatian is better than some Croats speak in their homeland! This is beautifully done! Bravo from Samobor, Croatia! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Austria-Hungaryball-yj]

Perfection, peak music right here. I could listen this to the end

[Wafflez-Man-YT]

Im a bosniak from montenegro. This guy is truly a master in his craft. He speaks our languages and makes the right music. Calms me down...i have a bad flue and this music have made me feel spiritually better. Thank you brother. May god bless you

[klarapetrijevcanin]

Nisam ocekivala da ce tako lijepo izgovarati nase rijeci

[MarijaSever-qdvl]

As a Croat from Koprivnica, this is awesome!

[misterguy]

rouler le long du fleuve en cette belle matinée d'automne et écouter oui, monsieur

[widgren]

I am just going to put this on repeat for the next hour or so.
Great work again from Faraji.

[alanovski.]

As a Croat, I think this is really good! The arrangement feels really authentic to the region it's from!

[kaykysoares]

Ah, valeu Farya, ouvir isso enquanto trabalho pela manhã é uma verdadeira bênção de Deus. Adorava essa música antes, agora está ainda melhor! Uma outra música croata do seu canal que adoro é a Naranča, um remake seria incrível. Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho novamente!

[qwertya]

i love how close Croatian language is to persian and russian (and serbian for sure)

[mithridatesi]

I have never thought that Croatian can sound so beautiful

[malahamavet]

this song is kinda sad... But ths melody is so calming and soothing. Croatian also sounds beautiful. I love this intimate, almost whispered type of singing, if i had a girlfriend id sing to her like this all the time.

[raidencola]

I just want to express how beautiful this is, thank you Farya. As a croat, you nailed this 100%. Your pronounciation is almost flawless
