Pocitelj is a small, Muslim village in southwest Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is typical of Muslim villages across the country and... well, how could I refuse to share something so beautiful?
Here is an award-winning music video filmed in Pocitelj, and telling a true story about war-time lovers in the village.
The artist is al'Dino and the song is called Kopriva (Nettle).
The lyrics are:
If you haven't hoped for me
You would not have remained deserted now
As ground thirsty for water
As mother wishing to have children
Waiting your soul has run dry
The nettle grows from my heart
Which had burned you long time ago
When you were picking my love
You trusted me
That I was not poisoned by sadness
Yes, it is me, an empty bed
In which nobody dreams
It is darkness for me even when it is day
I am, my darling, unhappy
