Ederlezi - Traditional folksong, arr. Imre Ploeg 

I love listening to all the different versions of this song😭❤️

Bir tane bile enstrüman yok ama ortaya şaheser çıkmış.

This is probably the most beautiful version that I heard, and I heard a lot of different interpretation on this subject, however there os something that is bothering me. Origin of this song is known and it's not folk song. Song is from WW2 and has a really sad and powerful story behind it. I don't know is there any sources in English that you can find so here is the story. During Worl War 2 Balkan was divaded more than ever. This is reagion that blooms in different cultures, people and religions. Extremist group of Catholic people who greeted Nacis, caled Ustaše had concentration camp Jasenovac for Ortodox folks and Romi as well. On Day of Saint George or Đurđevdan that is very respected in both Ortodox and Romi's tradition Ustaše forcefully put them on train of death as it os called, train for Jasenovac. Half of people didn't even make it to Jasenovac due to overcrowding the train so they suffocate. One young man, probably Rom sing this sange on spot whit original lyrics Spring is landing on my shoulder Djurdjevak is blooming(djurdjevak is flower that blooms on Đurđevdan and it is omen that spring has come) Djurdjevak is blooming for everyone except me. It is song full of sorrow and at the same time love for life, it is also rebellious act, going to meet potential torture and almost certain death and still singing and celebrating life. We know about this song because of Goran Bregović, good Kusturica's friend, musician in Yugoslovenian rock band called Bijelo Dugme. He knew someone who survived Jasenovac and had same birthplace as people who that day was on the train so he wrote down the song, introduce it to all Yugoslovenian but after decided that this song should be simbol of Romi in Balkan and theirs victims in WW2 so lyrics was transferred on Romi's language and has meaning that is more familiar and that you had a chance hearing in Kusturica's movies. This song is about every victim of those horrible ideas but also perfectly represents the spirit of Balkans. Thank you for your attention and I hope we all learn something new everyday. Also excuse my English, I'm not native speaker but I'm trying to improve everyday.

I am from Balkan, but this northern version is beautiful (or even the best) :)

Solo girl has a beautiful clear voice!

For a Dutch choir to capture the essence of Ederlezi is a grand achievement

Bur şarkıyı her dinlediğim de bütün acılarım canımı acıtıyor.

Eskimeyen, yıpranmayan, her söyleyenin ağzına yakışan, şahane bir eser. Sizler muhteşem icra etmişsiniz. Mükemmel 👌

I have no idea what the words mean but that does not matter - I heard the angels sing!

The Dutch singing Balkan Romani song... Being from Serbia, and trained in music, I have to say - Really nice job, people! You felt it. It is as if music transformed you. :)

I am Roma .... And I can tell you that the pronunciation is Perfect . 👏👏 Amazing . 😍

This song. I grew with it. Kusturica's movies and songs. This song go deep in my heart and my soul. Essence of purity, beauty, feelings 🌹

I am from the ancient Balkan. I deeply feel this beautiful song by the cool and young Dutchies. Really touching atmosphere and performance. One side of my family is from these lands.

Miło słuchać! szacunek!

Очень необычно. Учитывая, что в хоре нет цыган или турок...Я даже сначала не поняла национальность певцов. Красиво спели!!! Солистка просто ангел какой-то. Удивительный голос по чистоте и красоте. Спасибо вам большое!!!

Just wonderful. No words need. Greetings to Romanis, Srbohrvats and Dutchs and whole world from Turkey.

My heart is bleeding. The worlds anthem...this is the tunes we will hear when we die

The performance of this song by the Dutch is divine. It turns out that the Dutch are a little gypsy at heart... Thank you for the sincere and unique performance of this song!

Harikulade! Long live the Balkanfolks. Best wishes from Turkey!

No joke this is one of the most beautiful melodies. It is timeless and ethereal. This song is powerful and has endured the test of time. Hauntingly beautiful.

A little peace of what Heaven sounds like!

Yakamoz S-245 brought me here… and it’s even more amazing

Not gone lie… heard this on a Netflix show and glad I found it 🙌🏾

Wow...coming from Balkans I've heard a lot of different versions and interpretations of this song...and I must say this blew me away. Absolutely awesome. Impeccable. Brilliant. Bravo!!!!

Yakamoz S-245'ten gördüm geldim. Müthiş bir şarkı. Dizinin bana kattığı en büyük şey olabilir.

every time i hear this piece i can't hold my tears

Yakamoz S- 245 brought me here. This song brought me to tears. It is so beautiful and emotional.

Remembering early Kusturica, drinking grape vodka, hearing this great song, i'm crying

I can’t remember why I first listened to this song seven years ago- but I did, and I’m glad it’s come back into my recommended.

O giriş kısmı insanı bitiriyor ya. İnanılmaz etkileyici.

This is absolutely stunning. I clicked on this just out of curiosity and when you guys started singing, tears started streaming down my face. I haven't had this experience in quite some time. Really moving. Thank you.

Deco, bravo! Čula sam Đurđevdan milion puta, a li ovo je neverovatno!

Bu nasıl bir şarkı bilader ağlayacağım neredeyse

Очень трогательно и задушевно ! Да я не понимаю слов, да я не понял смысла, но душа пела ! Спасибо и низкий вам поклон за ваше творчество и талант ! С Уважением из России !!!

one of the most beautiful music of all time

Gänsehaut! Was für ein perfektes Arrangement... und eine solche stimmige musikalische Aufführung, was für ein himmlischer Klang... BRAVI!

For us Balkans this is a song that can't be described by the words. All I can say that you did a great job there. Well done!

Just listening to there angelic voices,gives me hope for the human race .

The voice of God, aired by his Creation. So human that it is divine. Transcending any language, touching all who listen. Giving hope when there seems none. Thank you, Choir and Conductor.

Μουσική και τραγούδι που αγγίζει το ασυνείδητο της ανθρωπότητας.

Lets take a moment and appreciate the tonmeister, record quality. ✔

This had a similar effect on me as stepping into cold water, as others have said, it touches your soul.

Apsolutně nevyhnutelně krásné ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The occasion where every single person is so important for the perfection, yeap.

This Version of the Song Guts under My Skin. Is Great 🥰

yakamoz S 245 dizisinde dinledim çoo etkileyici bir şarkı

When the chorus comes in, it reminds me so much of the feeling/sound of shape note singing in the United States. Astonishingly beautiful and moving.

I have been looking for this song for so long, and this version really touches my soul. Even if I don't understand the lyrics, it doesn't matter because this version goes beyond any barrier and it's very emotional. Thank you.

Many authors or composers, from all over the world, had taken advantage from criptomnesia and the collective unconscious to write. It is an universal thing. That song is ancestral east European -- is part of our souls -- it came from a deeper layer of all ourselves. If something moves you so, it has always been there.

Harikasınız özellikle vokalisti✌️🎵 Türkiyeden yürek dolusu sevgiler hepinize🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

Good God! A bunch of angels descended from heaven .

If not for Borat I wouldn’t know this beautiful song exist. Greetings from Singapore 🇸🇬🇸🇬

Wow, heard this today for the first time at the end of an episode of “Yakamoz S-245” and it really struck me. Had it on repeat ever since. This is by far my favourite version of this after hearing all the others. Perhaps it’s my Balkan background, or it’s just how powerful this tune is, but I wept uncontrollably listening to this. Thank you for arranging it 🥲🤲🤲🤲🤲

У меня мурашки от этого исполнения Аааааааааааааа Как круто

Wonderful rich harmonies, when they sing “Hey!”, it makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck!

Bu şarkıyı dinlemeyi çok seviyorum

well done. Although different culture they managed to get into the song soul. Greetings from Bulgaria.

this Song is really beatiful, congrats from Peru

Заметьте! Всё что идет от корней народа - то трогает сердце слушающего не взирая на то, что понимает или не понимает он язык на котором исполнена песня. А разделяют народы только выродки желающие на междоусобице нажиться!

Wonderful, respect!

Amazing. It is on repeat inside my head.

Beautiful soloist with a voice to match! Got chills right from the first note.

What a beautiful song ... what a beautiful people ! I`ve been watching this hundreds of times. This is love and human dignity. That`s what we need.

Wow! That is superb.
