This is a live performance of my song MARI BABO with two guitars and a tapan drum. Its a lively and energetic song very suitable for live performances. The lyrics of this song are pure folklore /it
s a well known song in my native Bulgaria./
I used the original lyrics but created my own melody which is closer to flamenco and gipsy jazz than Bulgarian folk music. Please, take a listen n let me know if u like it.
Original Bulgarian lyrics:
Мари бабо гърбава
имаш щерка хубава
Дай ми я бабо, дай, дай, дай
да си станем роднина
Ако ми я, бабо, ти дадеш
мед и масло, бабо, ще ядеш
Ако не ми я дадеш
мари бабо гърбава
Трънки, бабо, ще ядеш
а имаш щерка хубава
Ако не ми я дадеш
мари бабо гърбава
Трънки, бабо, ще ядеш
а имаш щерка хубава
Дай ми я бабо, дай, дай, дай
мари бабо гърбава
Дай ми я бабо, дай, дай, дай
имаш щерка хубава
ENGLISH
