Music in Serbia

From the Hilly Balkans,

in the Middle Ages,

a trumpet sounded.

Music was a part of every ceremony.

In the palace of the Nemanjic dynasty,

trumpets greeted guests.

The singer sang.

The choir followed the song.

The conductor conducted.

In the Middle Ages,

from Byzantium to the southern Slavs,

the music rushed forward,

on the way to the modern age.

Olivera Katarina was born.

A new direction was born.

She sang Spanish and Greek songs, gypsy chansons, romances.

Everyone sang.

Music was rushing in new directions.

Rock'n'roll grew.

Hip hop was looking for its place under the sun.

Everyone sang.

And the modern age has come.

Everything is shining.

The Eurovision song is being sung.

And that song...

"Molitva",

won first place.

Serbia won.

And we all sang.

We still sing.
