Sava Tiho Teče

Dante mentions this song in Behind the Lens (due for release in June). It was sung by his dida (grandfather) at the funeral of Dante's mother.



The English Translation for Plavi Orkestar's song is below:


THE SAVA IS FLOWLY QUIETLY 


Little birches next to The Sava river
Your cheerful eyes
Are shining strangely this night
They don't love me any more

I don't worry that I have to
That I have to lose you
But I'm worried if you'll be able
To love anyone after me

Chorus:
The Sava is flowing quietly, it's our last evening
Honey, you're left alone
The Sava is flowing quietly, it's our last evening
Honey, now you're a lady

Our branches broke
I don't have right
To love your little eyes
You're not my little girl any more

I don't worry that I won't
See you any more
But I worry if I won't
Like the new eyes

Chorus x2

It appears to me to be about a father letting his little girl go, because she is becoming a woman, changing, but in the case of singing it at a funeral it would mean something totally different to Dante's grandfather, because he wouldn't be seeing his daughter again, and is letting her go forever.
