The series "Sav Taj Sevdah" showcases "sevdalinka" - a traditional genre of folk music from Bosnia and Herzegovina

From wiki:

"Sevdalinka is part of the Bosniak culture, but is also popular across the ex-Yugoslavia region, especially in Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. The actual composers of many sevdalinkas are unknown.

In musical sense, sevdalinka is characterized by a slow or moderate tempo and intense, emotional melodies. Sevdalinka songs are very elaborate, emotionally charged and are traditionally sung with passion and fervor. The combination of Oriental, European and Sephardic elements make this type of music stand out among other types of folk music from the Balkans. Like a lot of Balkan folk music, Sevdalinka features very sombre, minor sounding modes, but unlike other types of Balkan folklore it more intensely features minor second intervals, thus hinting to oriental Makams and Phrygian mode. As a result, the melodies are noted for leaving a strong melancholic feeling with the listener."

Translation:

Yellow Quince

Two young ones were once in love

Six months to a year.

When they sought to marry,

to marry, alas, alas,

Fiends wouldn't let them.

The beautiful Fatma fell ill

A mother's only child,

She longed for yellow quinces,

yellow quinces alas, alas,

Yellow quinces from Istanbul.

Her beloved set off to bring

The Byzantine yellow quinces

But he is gone for three years,

three years, alas, alas.

Not a word, nor does he return.

Then one day with the quinces he does appear,

Only to find his Fatma carried on a bier;

"Two hundred I'll give; lower her,"

"Three hundred I'll give; uncover her,

I want to kiss Fatma one last time."
