Hello everyone!
🎹 Today I’m sharing a piano rendition of "We'll sing what our heart know", a song that speaks deeply to our shared memory, culture, and soul.
The context for this performance is Mountain — not just as a majestic natural form, but as a metaphor for identity, endurance, and quiet strength. In the song, there's a powerful line: “Sestrice, sestro sa planine” — “Sister, sister from the mountain.” This lyric captures something intimate and symbolic. The mountain isn’t just a place; it’s where roots run deep. It’s home. It's where traditions are born and protected — passed on through stories, songs, and silence.
To call someone a sister from the mountain is to call them family by spirit, not just by blood — someone shaped by the same winds, raised by the same echoes of old songs. That connection is timeless and immovable, just like the mountains themselves.
As I play this piece, I imagine those voices calling from the highlands, wrapped in fog and memory. This is for all who carry a mountain within them — whether it’s a homeland, a person, or a memory that grounds you.
May this melody bring you closer to it. 🏔️🎶
LYRICS
Sestrice pjesmo sa planine
kako ti je ime
da te dozovem
Tvoj mi glas treba da me blazi
jer mi srce trazi
pjesmu jedinu
Pjevat cemo sta nam srce zna
pjesme sa svih strana planina
cujte me ljubavi sam zedna
jer jepjesma jedna nama sudjena
Ja sam vam otuda
gdje pjesme nose ljudska lica
i malo me strah da ce bez ljubavi
za njima zalediti zima
pjesmu komsijsku
Pjevat cu vam sta mi srce zna
pjesme sa svih strana planina
cujte me ljubavi sam zedna
jer je pjesma jedna nama suđena
ENGLISH
My sister - the song from the mountains
what is your name?
so I can call you over
I need your voice to soothe me
because my heart is searching
for that one song
We will sing what our hearts know
songs from every side of the mountains
listen to me, I'm thirsty for love
because this one song is destined for us
That's where I'm from
where songs bear human faces
and I'm scared thatthe freezing winter will follow
them without love
this neighbor's song
We will sing what our hearts know
songs from every side of the mountains
listen to me, I'm thirsty for love
because this one song is destined for us
