Has Macedonia lost it?

I love this entry in both Macedonian and English but to release it in Albanian, Russian, Serbian and Turkish as well...

I'm not too sure about the Russian and Serbian versions but the Albanian and Turksish versions work well and you can be sure that when they tour Europe all the versions will be used!

I can see them doing well (with the English version, Let Me Love You) in Belgrade this year. As long as they don't change languages... again.

And I have to say I agree with Kristopher (below) that those first 10 seconds are absolute class.

What, no Greek language version? But seriously, the English does lose something, because lyrics are always so much more mystical when you don't know what they are saying. Slavic-tinged love songs are much like Cubano or Latino lyrics in this sense -- it takes a real poet to translate them into something that isn't trite. Apart from being catchy, this song has an added bonus -- the folk-music-like intro in the first ten seconds, which I think I will sample and loop over and over again on my iPod.
