Beautiful! This was my mother’s favourite song growing up in Istria. My father loved my mother dearly and when he passed away we had this song played on the violin at his funeral. If you understand the words it’s very fitting. It’s about a woman who is missing her lover and looking for to being reunited again.
It's a song about a woman that remained in Trieste and prays to San Giusto to be reunited with her sweetheart on the other side of the border. The song was forbidden in former Yugoslavia.
@@norna8 it was often sung, but the authorities didn't like it...we're talking the first years after it was released...the regime got less strict over time as you say...no one cared, radio Capodistria played it often as well as my granma and me

@@dp2280 That's new to me, my dad used to sing it during my childhood (in Yugoslavia) and nobody batted an eye. I thought it was just a love song :)
