    I always wonder if some foreigner can feel this music. I am from Serbia, the singers are Serbs, and they sing in Belgrade, Serbia Yes, you are right, you can associate this kind of music with nature, with the flock of sheep, with the ancient way of living. This kind of voice is like Byzantine, the East Roman Empire. This is the music from the Middle Ages. We have some very nice singers, with that kind of voice, go on UA-cam search, find Divna Ljubojevic (she descended from heaven) and Pavle Aksentijevic. They are like you entered into a time machine, they have the voices from that period. You think you are in heaven.

    Thank you , finally. I' ve mentioned Bojana Peković about three times before. The guy on the accordion is her own brother. She is actually one of best serbian fiddlers( gusle) in Serbia and the fiddlers have the amazing voice too. The song is about our history - she sings to a pine tree to grow higher so she could climb it and touch the Hilandar ( the greatest serbian orthodox monastery on Atos , founded by prince Rastko Nemanjić- St Sava) to meet our heroic dynasty of Nemanjić in heaven. The kings and emperors of Nemanjić dynasty built almost every monastery and many churches wherever they ruled. For example , Emperor Milutin built 40 monasteries . The Emperor Dushan( Dušan ) the Mighty was in fact the Emperor of the Third Roman Empire after the fall of Romeia ( known as Byzantium, the invented terminology by Greeks) . That is why her voice is proud and strong.Great number of serbian medieval monasteries were built by Nemanjić dynasty on Kosovo and Metohia , but also in Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, , Bosnia , Albania, Macedonia ,Dalmatia...There is one church in Jerusalem built by Rastko Nemanjić .I suggest you check the Emperor Dushan's realm.

      "Sveti Sava je 6707. uneo Srpski kalendar u Zakonopravilo, pa je on postao zvanični kalendar Srpske pravoslavne crkve,a važio je sve do 1881. godine.

      Did you know that he actually was the Emperor of the Third Rome, after the fall of previos two. Jovan Kantakuzin wrote about it . He used only red ink in his signature, and only those of the highest rank in The Roman Empire had this right. Others below him signed in black. Hitler was so wrong calling Germany , The Third Reich. Strange thing , but not really was that Dushan was poisoned when he was so close to Constantinople( greek fanariots would never let him) . Afterwards the great number of our old books , documents and what not was stolen by Germans , Bulgars , Croats , Austrians ... Now our national treasure lies mostly in Berlin and Vienna. The library in Belgrade was not bombed , it was previously robbed by two Germans who worked there and who set fire to make it look it was being bombed. Funny thing is that Croats have more old books and manuscripts in serbian cirilic than the Serbs , but they call it " the old croatian cirilic"🤦Our church now is led by greek fanariots and Cincars ( Toma Fila??)- who think of themselves as some greeks who were the ancestors of the fifth Roman legion of Julius Caesar , well Greek told them that, but in fact they are romanized population - Vlachs and one Karanušić ( the Nuši are Cincars and Karanušić is a common Croatian surname)😢. That is why our patriarch does not claim the right on serbian church lands on Kosovo and Metohia, which is about 1/3 of it's entire territory. And that is why Albanians now claim that those are old Albanian monasteries build by Albanians . Even Macedonians speak of Tzar Dushan as their own in order to put a claim on Nemanjić heritage 💔😶

    The old folk song "Rasti, rasti, moj zeleni bore" was written down in the 19th century, and was also sung in the Middle Ages, in the village of Nerodimlje, where the Nemanjić dined in the Middle Ages. And it refers to two old pine trees, one planted by King Milutin and the other by Emperor Dušan the Strong. Many games and songs were sung around these tall pine trees.

    What they left the earthly palaces,
    and he clung to the sky with his soul.
    Grow, grow my green wrinkle,

    As someone said: "Rasti, rasti, moj zeleni bore" means grow my green pine tree. It continues: "so that I can climb you and see all the way to the Holy mountain (in Athos, Greece), where the great lavra (monastic settlement - the Serbian monastery) of Chilandar is, so I can see the Nemanjić dynasty..."
    Nemanjići were a great feudal dynasty in medieval Serbia, who built around a 1000 monasteries and churches during their reign 12-15th century. They founded the Serbian Orthodox Church, literacy, the state administration and a strong foundation for Serbian culture. At the height of the Serbian empire, it stretched all the way through Greece, hence the centre of monastic life and the majority of Serbia's territory was in Kosovo, Macedonia and Holy mount Athos in Greece. Chilandar was an endowment of the founder of the dynasty, Stefan Nemanja from the end of 12th c.
    There is no example anywhere else in the world where so many rulers from a single dynasty were sanctified. They were noble and holy, which anyone can see for themselves by reading their biographies and Serbian history.
    Btw, there's a very strict process to bestowing sainthood which requires at least ten miracles witnessed by the laymen AND the clergy, connecting to the ruler and his earthly remains. Very often, among the saints, myrrh starts flowing from their bodies, and/or their bodies don't rot.

      *Holy Mountain - Mt. Athos - authonomous Peninsula in Greece, filled with Eastern Orthodox monasteries wich belongs to different Eastern Orthodox nations.
      **Lavra - type of monastery
      ***Hilandar - medieval Serbian Orthodox monastery on Mount Athos founded in 1198 AD.
      ****Nemanjić - Serbian medieval dinasty (considered as Holy among Serbs) - founder of dinasty was Stefan Nemanja (who later became monk Simeon - st. Simeon). His youngest and favorite son Rastko Nemanjić (later became a monk Sava - even later Serbian Archbishop Sava - st. Sava) was supposed to be the heir to the throne, but Rastko truly loved only Christ so he refused to be the ruler and chose to be a monk instead. So he fled to Mt. Athos despite his father insisted him to be next ruler of Serbia. After Rastko became a monk, Stefan Nemanja gave up and later passed his crown to his second son Stefan Nemanjić, while both he and his wife abdicated and became monks. Later Stefan Nemanja (now monk Simeon) and his son Rastko (now monk Sava) together build monastery Hilandar on Mt. Athos.
      *****czarevitch - this term (title) is a deminutive of the title czar (or tzar) which basicaly means emperor (something like August and Caesear in Rome), but since in English word emperor has context of sombedy who is conqueror, invader, dictator etc. I must say that in Serbian this word has other context too. Actualy, tzar or czar is the highest possible title so that's somebody who is an image or representator on Earth of the true Czar in the Heaven - Lord Christ (thats why there is a believe that only the one Czar (Emperor) can be in the world). Because in Serbian language we dont use term Heavenly Kingdom but Heavenly Czardom (Empire). So the context here is because Christ is true Czar those humans who are chosen by God to be his representators on Earth are czarevitchs (deminutive of Czar) - in this case all those rulers (of wichever title) from Nemanjić dinasty.

    "Grow, grow, my green forest"
    It can be confirmed that this old song was written in the 19th century in the village of Nerodimlje, where the Nemanjićs dined in the Middle Ages.
    They believe that it was created somewhere back in the 17th century.
    And it refers to two old pine trees, one of which belongs to King Milutin and the other to Emperor Dušan Many dances and songs were sung around these tall pine trees.
    Branislav Nušić recorded the song and many other songs in his writings while staying in Nerodimlje, as well as many other ethnomusicologists who stayed and wrote down old folk songs in Kosovo and Metohija... ​
    ...
    Grow, grow my green berry, grow my green berry.
    May I climb your peaks,
    May I reach all the way to the Holy Mountain.
    There is the Imperial Lavra of Hilandara,

    The holy lineage of Nemanjić,

    What you are listening to is, I believe, the best public performance of that song! My suggestion is that you also listen to the studio version, which I think is the best done..
    The song is sung by the monks.

    A bit of background story for your anglophonic listeners: This song is made during the early to mid 1800s in a small Serbian village, Nerodimlje. During the early middle ages the most powerfull Serbian Royal Dynasty was seated there for a period. Legend says 2 of this dynastys Kings (Milutin and Dragutin) planted 2 Pine Tree seeds.
    The Lyrics talk about those 2 Pine Trees.The Chorus: Grow, Grow my green Pine Tree (rasti, rasti moj zeleni bore). The lyrics progress into the story of how the Pine Tree while growing will carry the singer (Serbian Nation) into the glory days of the powerfull medieval Nemanjic Dynasty.
    During the 1800s The Ottoman Turks were ruling over that region of the world for almost 400 years and the will for liberation from the Turkish yoke was strong. During the same period there was and uprising of the Serbian people against the Ottomans in which many lost their lives. The skulls of the dead would be cemented into a Tower in the middle of the city as a warning. Arround half a century later, shortly before the first World War the Serbs, Bulgarians and Greeks with the help of the Russian Empire will finally defeat the Ottomans and liberate the region after over 4 Centuries.

    You imagine a passage through the forest of the mountain, I assume that you also feel some anxiety that disappears as you get closer to the goal.
    It's interesting and very touching, the feeling of someone who doesn't understand what this girl is singing about.
    She sings about a green pine that represents a sapling that grows in the desire to climb (spiritually grow) as high as possible in order to spiritually reach the holy mountain (Hilandar) and of course, reach the highest holy peaks of the Serbian kings of the holy lineage of Nemanjića.
    It is the highest thing that can be imagined and it is also the purest spiritual goal that a person can reach, and immediately after that, he becomes a saint.
