The blue scenery presents the sea around the Corfu island of Greece where died Serbs were thrown for eternity, cause there was no enough space on the island to bury all the Serbs who went there after attacked from all sides by the most powerful forces of that time. Such a small nation, so brave you can't imagine it. Only 4 months after, just like the flower Ramonda Serbica, the Serbian Army reborn and liberated all teritories where Serbs used to live in all the Balkans. It aroused like from the ashes, just like the Phoenix bird. Just imagine loosing 33% of the total population during WW1, 60% males, and then again after just 20 years in WW2, Serbs again lost more than 1.000.000 people. While being part of Yugoslavia, and even today, this small nation, globally populated only half of the City of London for example, but very proud and honourable, always on the right side of history, strongly supports justice in all the world. Let's pray for the peace globally.
Great comment..always on right side of history but people in Serbia(about 70 percent) this moment make mistake..support Russia and thats not ok..ok here is big propagand through the years and because of that we have a problem..but our goverment support right side and thats the important..song is a very nice and have strong message and historical true story about our people and country
yeah sure we sholud instead support liberal capitalism neocoms, corporate globalism antifa and etc. No thanks. And Ukraine is sacred Russian land, starting with Kiev lavra and monasteries, fort just like Kosovo for Serbia. And even more important, Ukrainians are Russians.

Thank you! Almost every family here has a grand or grand grand father withdrawing through Albania to corfus in ww1. Many died.

Serbian people have a glorious history. We have suffered. Glory to our ancestors!
Exactly..And not only about World War 1. Ottoman empire we fought for 600 years and were Eureopean wall for their invasion. And what we got. This song is about call for PEACE IN WORLD TOO
OMG I don't think I ever heard anything like this so nice in m life about my country; I'm the generation that went through all those wars and used to listen, just because the west figure that way, that Serbia is to blame for everything,.. well, not to get into all those stories, thank you! there are numerous of us who where not the part of hatreds nor those insane political decisions and who suffers after all those consequences and we need to heal those wounds; thank you 🙏
Teya is a Berklee College of Music graduate and is signed by ARKTKT Publishing LLC. Yes, we lost such brave men in WWI. Ramonda is the phoenix flower, rising from the ashes.
Ramonda serbica, also known as Serbian ramonda and Serbian phoenix flower, is a species in the family Gesneriaceae. The flower was first discovered in 1874 near Niš, Serbia, by the Serbian botanist Josif Pančić. Later, the flower has been observed across the Balkans. Welcome to my country welcome to my Serbia.🌸🌸🌸❤️❤️
I am really sad for Serbia, they keep sending amasing songs but keeo gettij underated and in odds are 23rd place its way too low for how amasing this song is evan compared to other basic and generic up beat songs. They deserve their flowers 💜🇷🇸🌸🥺
About WW1 and Serbia I'm just going to leave you with a quote: "You are not going to the Italian, or Russian, or the French front. You are heading into battle against a new enemy, a dangerous, tough, brave and sharp enemy. You go to the Serbian front, and Serbia. And Serbs are a people who above all value their freedom. Take care , lest this miniscule enemy overshadow your glory, and compromise the successes of the glorious German Army. " - Field marshal August von Mackensen to his troops before his invasion of Serbia.
My brother, thank you for your interest in our history and our victims, I will just say that you are one of the few who tried to understand the essence of the poem, even if it was in the Serbian language, if you want to visit Serbia, feel free to contact me, I will have it's an honor to host you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
love how you learned about the history and meaning of the song, she gained popularity last year from her viral song Dzanum, thematically very similar to this, check it out!
janum is a song written and composed for the series "south wind" about the tragedy and hopelessness of today's life where the basic compassion of man towards man has been lost. -"no one wants my pain, to be touched by it, to surrender to it...this soul has no home". The song experienced great expansion in Serbia after a few months when two consecutive great tragedies happened in Serbia. And then she continued her journey through TT and the lives of those who lost loved ones. Besides singing, Teodora is also a songwriter and composer of many songs for other artists. She has recorded a couple of songs for herself, and is still wandering around and looking for genres. However, songs like Ramonda and Dzanum suit her best for her voice. Although stylistically they sound the same, Ramonda is far from dramatic, it is a song of hope and love: And there would be light in the darkness, and the darkness would not overwhelm it.
I imagine her , lost, alone, after a difficult battle ( during or after the war) searching for her loved ones ,,, lilac ramonda could be symbol for hope... ..a flower that only needs a drop of water to rise and bloom...she needs hope now, to be like a flower that will rise from the ashes... I think this could be an anti-war song ( the flower is considered a symbol of the struggle and victory of Serbia in the First World War, with the largest number of victims in relation to the number of inhabitants) I can hear the silent scream to find strength in her broken being and rise above herself..like lila Ramonda 🌷
The last line, that you liked so much, means "raising from the ashes, comes one purple Ramonda". And you can see it on the screen. Beautiful song. Thank you for your reaction video.
🇷🇸 I'm glad you understand our song about Ramonda because it's a resurrection flower in the true sense - it hibernates and is born again when it rains and Sun like 🇷🇸 Serbia !!! I wish everyone new a positive spiritual resurrection and peace throughout Europe and the World like Ramoda !!! Welcome in 🇷🇸 Serbia next year on Eurovision song contest !
Everyone can find themselves in this lirycks. It comforirting in greef,pain ,despare,lonlines and despare. For evreryone who is hurting.there is a hope.💜
ENGLISH TRANSLATION & ANALYSIS by a SERBIAN NATIVE SPEAKER (please read until the end): [Verse 1] There's no rest, no rest for me I am restless, I cannot sleep The night won't give way to dawn Doomed is the one who is alone. [Verse 2] It's as if underwater silence reigns I'm screaming, but you can't hear my pain Beyond the mountain gleam is white Yet there's no end in sight ‘Tis the path for the wounded. [Pre-chorus] And there's no one to guide me now To Danitsa the Morning Star The world's a pyre burning each flower Where have they evanesced, those lilac ramondas? [Chorus] Lilac ramonda Lilac ramonda Lilac ramonda Lilac ramonda Ramonda Lilac ramonda Lilac ramonda Lilac ramonda. [Pre-chorus] And there's no one who would guide me For all the stars are sound asleep Saying prayers is of no avail Where have they evanesced, those lilac ramondas? [Chorus, break] Lilac ramonda Lilac ramonda Lilac ramonda Lilac ramonda. [Chorus] Lilac ramonda Lilac ramonda Lilac ramonda Lilac ramonda Ramonda Lilac ramonda Lilac ramonda Lilac ramonda. [Outro] From the ashes rises up A single lilac ramonda. The song ‘Ramonda’ has a universal symbolism which can be applied to a variety of situations in life. Even though it is originally written as a deeply personal song that anyone can relate to, it can be perceived both as a patriotic song with a fragment of painful Serbian history and a song whose lyrics portray the great suffering of all the people around the world whose countries are devastated by wars and disasters. It is also infused with weltschmerz (= world pain), which is described as a sense of deep sadness at the evils or perils of the world caused by comparing the actual state of the world with an idealised longing for things to be different. The reason I am bringing weltschmerz up is because not only are people from war-stricken countries suffering but also people from other countries witnessing it and not being able to do anything to stop it. They are also hopeless and probably anxious about the same thing possibly happening to them in the future because this world has become a dangerous place. No one feels safe. Therefore, the lyrics can be interpreted as the internal monologue of both ‘the wounded’ and those who are not wounded yet but are depressed by constant exposure to human suffering through media. MAIN POINTS OF ANALYSIS: 1) Zvezda Danica, pronounced as /danitsa/, is a feminine name personifying the morning star / Venus in Slavic mythology; it can be found in Serbian lyric poetry. I transliterated it to Danitsa so that non-native speakers wouldn't pronounce it as /danika/. 2) In the phrase ‘lilac ramonda’, ‘lilac’ is an adjective meaning ‘pale purple colour’, not a noun meaning ‘a type of flower’. It's ‘lila’ in Serbian. I used archaic and poetic words in my translation since the original lyrics of the song are quite poetic as well. 3) The island and the surrounding sea at the beginning of the official video could be a reference to the Greek island of Vido and the Ionian sea in which over 5,000 Serbian soldiers were buried during World War I. A Serbian poet Milutin Bojić dedicated his poem 'Plava grobnica' (The Blue Tomb) to these soldiers and this 'blue tomb' is actually the sea around Vido. In this poem, Bojić expressed the tragic fate of Serbia, whose army had passed through the snow-covered mountains of Montenegro and Albania to get to the Greek islands of Corfu and Vido, where they found refuge and shelter. The line 'ko pod vodom tiho je sve' (= everything is quiet like under the water) could be an allusion to the deathly silence of this ‘blue tomb’, the last resting place of the brave Serbian soldiers. The reason why they were thrown into the sea is because there was not enough space on Vido and Corfu. Their corpses were weighted with rocks to prevent them from floating. 4) The title of this song references a flower called ‘Ramonda serbica’ in Latin, a species endemic to Serbia. The mountain called Rtanj is the home to this flower which was discovered in 1874 by a famous Serbian botanist Josif Pančić. Being a living fossil from the Tertiary period, it is capable of surviving extremely harsh conditions. Even if it is completely withered, just a few drops of water can revive it. Natalie's ramonda (natalijina ramonda), the flower of the same genus, is very similar to ‘Ramonda serbica’. It was named after Queen of Serbia Natalija Obrenović, and it is worn as an emblem on Armistice Day in Serbia. This flower, also known as the ‘phoenix flower’, symbolises the unprecedented suffering of the Serbian Army (during the Great Retreat) that managed to rise victoriously like a phoenix from the ashes that World War I, in which Serbia lost one third of its population, had left behind. 5) This song can be interpreted in different ways due to the universal symbolism of ramonda as the beacon of hope for people going through tough times (wars, natural disasters, disease, psychological problems, heartbreaks, etc.). According to my interpretation of the lyrics, the repetition of the line in which the lyric subject wonders where all the ramondas have disappeared (rhetorical question) represents the feeling of powerlessness, hopelessness and despair. However, the outro of the song reminds us that hope springs eternal. Despite all the atrocities occurring in the world, it is in human nature to never lose hope. Disappearing lilac ramondas can also imply the people who are currently being wiped off the face of the earth and who are actually disappearing with no possibility of resurrection, unlike ramondas. From another point of view, ramondas can be the soldiers who died in WWI. 6) Also, there's something magical and unexplainable about the melody of this song. It embodies the spirit of the Serbian people from the 18th, the 19th and the 20th century, the spirit that Stevan Stojanović Mokranjac, the most important composer of Serbian romanticism, wove into his music. This particular atmosphere of the melody can be sensed strongly only by listening to a piano cover. It’s just fascinating. 7) Danitsa (= the bright morning star) is the ONLY thing left for the lyrical subject (= anyone who identifies with the lyrics, not necessarily the author) to guide him through sadness and hopelessness. In other words, the only thing left for people going through great suffering is to wait for Danitsa to appear in the morning sky because only then will they know they survived to see another dawn, another day. I perceive the song as a cry of people who are currently going through wars and great suffering. If we look at the text from that perspective, the first and the second verse describe their psychological state in the form of an internal monologue. They cannot sleep; they feel restless; they are traumatised; they are scared; every night seems like an eternity; they are lonely because it looks to them as if no one is coming to their rescue, and even if they scream, no one will hear them, as if they were underwater. Their cry is muffled. They know that normal life (= white glow) is still happening outside the borders of their countries, and that depresses them because it seems to them as if their suffering is never going to end while somewhere in the distance everything is teeming with life. 8) In the second pre-chorus, a kind of descending gradation can be noticed. In the first pre-chorus, the lyrical subject's glimmer of hope is the morning star (may be Teya Dora's deceased father) while in the second pre-chorus not even that because now all the stars have fallen asleep, which indicates that the lyrical subject is losing hope throughout the song, but since we know that the night is darkest just before the dawn (which can be felt in the musical atmosphere of the silent break before the last chorus), what happens in the outro of the song is peripeteia, i.e. the plot twist when a single lilac ramonda eventually rises from the ashes and the tone of the song changes from depressive to optimistic. Ramonda is the light at the end of the tunnel. By the way, the lyrical subject summons Ramonda in every chorus by repeating its name, as if in the form of a mantra, hoping that it will resurrect, and it eventually does come to life. 9) The official video features the archetype of light vs darkness or good vs evil, which is suggested at the very beginning by quoting a verse from the Gospel of John. I assume that the light sphere from the video actually represents the morning star / the planet Venus and is significantly smaller compared to the amount of darkness that surrounds it in the video. It is what leads Teya Dora through the darkness (= hopelessness) until the break of dawn, the sunrise and the resurrection of ramonda (= hope) that we see at the end. It is known that the morning star is visible until sunrise, which is probably why they made it disappear into the rock just before the sun appears. They also call her Zornjača (= dawn star). Interestingly, the morning star / Venus is the brightest planet in the sky, so it's clear why it is depicted as the guiding star. It may also represent Teya Dora's late father since she devoted this song to him too. In the video, Danitsa and Ramonda are actually two interconnected motifs because they both represent light, hope, birth, new beginnings. Ramonda is born from the light of Danitsa.
In the First World War, Serbia lost about 30% of its population, 60% of its male population. The figure is around 1,200,000 inhabitants who lost their lives. This is perhaps the highest percentage that a country lost in that war. Ramonda is an endemic species and has 3 subspecies. One grows on the Iberian island and in Serbia there is Ramonda Serbica and Natalija's ramonda, which was named after the Serbian queen. Both species are endangered and are protected by law. Natalija's ramonda is also known as the phoenix because it can to dry completely and to revive again when the conditions are favorable. In the First World War, Natalija's ramonda was taken as a symbol of Armistice Day and as a symbol of Serbian suffering in that war, as a new beginning, as a phoenix. The song follows these two stories. It tells where the purple Ramonde disappeared, as a metaphor for the suffering that Serbia suffered. During the performance, purple luminous dots appear on the LED screens that rise and rise. They represent the souls of Serbian soldiers who died defending their country and which go to heaven. At the end of the words, a purple ramonda rises from the ashes. That verse represents the aspiration for a better tomorrow, for the end of war, for the end of suffering, for peace..
Blue tomb. In one part of the song, he says, everything is quiet under the sea. When the Serbian army retreated through Albania to the Greek island of Vido, many soldiers died of disease and hunger. It is estimated that around 5,000 people died then and were thrown into the Ionian Sea for eternal rest. Since then, that place has been called the blue tomb.
@@majstoroviconline Yeah I know that..I know history very well..why you talk to me about that?You dont know many things in WWI because we dont learn about that in school etc..for example brave Irish saved us in WWI..do you know that?
Amazing magic song Ramonda ❤part 2 of amazing song Dzanum Moye More ❤by amazing singer composer songwriter and pianist TEYA DORA ❤ Thanks for very nice reaction 🙏❤️I 🙏🙏🙏 Ramonda winner of Evrovision 24 ❤
Thank you for the honest reaction from the heart. When it comes to real emotions, you don't even need to understand the language. Sending you all lots of love from Serbia!💖🇷🇸🫶
For those who (perhaps) don't know, the ramonda is our endemic flower species (Ramonda Serbica) and a symbol of the suffering of the Serbs in World War I against Austria-Hungary, i.e. Armistice Day (November 11, 1918) and the final victory. Ramonda is a symbol of Serbia, victory, rebirth and eternity. It is also called the phoenix flower, because it is specific in that it can dry up, and only one drop of water is enough to revive it completely. It was discovered by Josif Pancic in 1874, on Mount Rtanj, near Sokobanja. The song of Teye Dora has strong symbolism, good music with traditional (Byzantine and Serbian) elements, arrangement and text, and in the text I especially like the (Serbian) motifs of the star Danica and Ramonda, as well as the beginning, whose rhythmicity and parallelism are very they remind us of our folk (oral) literature. Not to mention her voice. PS. Armistice Day is a non-working day in Serbia, and it is also celebrated in Great Britain, Belgium, New Zealand and France, while it is "Remembrance Day" in the countries of the British Commonwealth, and "Veterans Day" in the USA.
Thank u for this emotional video. This is very important about beautiful flowers ramonda. The Natalie's Ramonda flower possesses a remarkable ability to revive even when fully dehydrated and demonstrates adaptability to harsh environments. As a result, this plant bears national symbol in Serbia, reflecting the resiliance of the Serbian struggle in World War I and symbolizing the rebirth and revival of the country.
Translation of lyric There's no, there's no peace for me Restless, sleepless with no dreams Night forbids the dawn to come Hardest for the lonesome Underwater, silent and bound I'm screaming but tthere's no sound Above the hills is glowing white But with no end in sight For wounded is this path No one's there to guide me to brightnes of the Morning star World is burning , every flower Where've they disapired? Lilac Ramondas Lilac Ramonda x8 There's no guide to take on me The stars are gone, they fell asleep Even prayers dont help Where've they disapired? Lilac Radmondas Lilac Ramonda x8 From the ashes rising high... Just one Lilac Ramonda
Thanks, very nice reaction, you are such a nice guy who did his research. Kudos! Good thing about the song is that even the inspiration comes from the population we lost in ww1, I believe that everyone who feel a bit lost, desperate, in pain, are going through a rough patch, can find themselves in this song. The person is sad, devastated but still searching for the light. And the song ends on the positive note, with resurrected Ramonda. 😊
Here is the text in English, but I will give you also some insight, so that you can understand. The part of feeling and sensation will be lost In translation, but it should work "I don't have, I don't have, I don't have I have no peace, no sleep Night don't let the day to come It is difficult for the one who is alone Everything is quiet like under water I scream but it is not heard Behind the mountains, a white glow I don't see the end in sight This is the way for the wounded And there is no one to guide me Towards the light of Danica star (Northern star) Everything burns, everything burns; Every flower, every flower Where did the Lila Ramondas go? And there is no one to guide me Because the stars are all asleep Not even prayers help Where did the Lila Ramondas go? ...... It rises from the ashes One lilac ramonda" During WWI, the complete Serbian army was forced to retreat from Serbia, via Albania to Greece, in what was one of the most horrific withdraw in known history, where many died from hunger, illnes and attacks ftom the Albanian gangs. Later. From the coast of Albania, allied ships were transported them to Greece. Some ships were attacked by Germans and a lot of Serbian solders died under the watter. In the Greek island Corfu, Serbian army recovered, but still thousands of them died from exhaustion and illnes. When there were no more empty land to bury the dead on Corfu, they were buried in the sea, which is known in Greece and Serbia as the Blue tomb When recovered, Serbian army broke Thessaloniki front line, moving very fast thus leaving allied troops far, far behind while destroying Germans and liberating Serbia. In WWI, Serbia lost almost 1/3 of its population, and 60% of male population Ramonda Serbica and Natalia Ramonda are the flower of lilac (purple) color, that can dry out completely when conditions are bad, and it can resurrect again after a long time with just a few drops of a watter. It is also called the Phoenix flower So I hope that I can help you understand how heavy this song is, but still full of hope The terrible situation in which the Serbs were, but even though it seems that the lilac Ramonda have disappeared (for Serbs, that flower is a symbol of faith in liberation), still one rises from the ashes (faith in the beginning of liberation). On Serbia's liberation day, people are wearing the Ramonda symbol on their dresses. In the official music video for this song, at the very beginning there is a message in English: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it" or in the translation "And the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it" which is the text from the Gospel according to John 1:5. It further reinforces the message of the song and indicates the artist's attitude.
The song "Ramonda" by Teya takes its name from the "Ramonda serbica" flower, which is found mainly in Serbia and nearby regions. This flower, discovered by a Serbian scientist in 1884, has a remarkable ability to revive even after completely drying out, earning it the nickname "the phoenix flower." Similarly, Natalie's Ramonda, a close relative of the same genus, is known in Serbia as "Natalijina ramonda" after Queen Natalija Obrenović. It became a symbol of victory in World War I, representing Serbia's resilience after losing nearly a third of its population. The song explores themes of loneliness and the resilience to bounce back from adversity, mirroring the Ramonda flower's ability to revive with just a drop of water. The official video clip includes a quote from the Gospel of John, emphasising the enduring power of light over darkness. The island featured in the video represents Corfu, Greece, where Serbian soldiers found refuge during World War I after facing dire circumstances. Greece provided Serbia with essential support, although many perished upon arrival and were laid to rest at sea. This aspect of the song serves as a poignant tribute to ancestors who overcame overwhelming odds.
Ramonda = 🌸I don't, I don't, I don't I have no peace, I have no sleep It doesn't let night come day Woe to the one who is alone As if under water, everything is quiet I scream, but it is not heard Behind the mountains, a white glow, I can't see the end This time is for the wounded And there is no one to guide me To the bright star Danica Burning world (Burning world) Every flower (every flower) Where did they disappear (disappear) Lila Ramonde? Lilac ramonda, lilac ramonda Lila ramonda, lila ramonda-a, yes-a Ramonda, ramonda's lilac Lila Ramonda, Lila Ramonda (Ramonda) And there is no one to guide me Because the stars are all asleep Prayers don't help either Where did they disappear (disappear) Lila Ramonde? Lilac ramonda, lilac ramonda Lilac ramonda, lilac ramonda Lila ramonda, Lila ramonda (a) Lila ramonda, lila ramonda, ah-a Ramonda, ramonda's lilac (a) Lila Ramonda, Lila Ramonda (Ramonda) It rises from the ashes One lilac ramonda
Thank you for the really great reaction and analysis 💗 🇷🇸 We are especially proud of all our victims during ww1 and our history.This is very special ballad and there is a greatest meaning behind this song💗🇷🇸.Serbia and the magical Ramonda a symbol of PEACE and renewal
I don't have i don't have I have no peace I have no sleep Night won't allow day to come It's hard for the one who's alone Everything is as quiet as under water. I'm screaming but I am not heard Behind the mountains white glow I can't see the end This road is for the wounded. There's no one to lead me To the lights of star Danica (morning star) The world is burning, every flower Where did the purple ramondas go? Purple Ramonda Purple Ramonda Purple Ramonda Purple Ramonda Ramonda Purple Ramonda Purple Ramonda Purple Ramonda There's no one to lead me 'Cause the stars are all asleep Prayers don't help either. Where did the purple ramondas go? Purple Ramonda Purple Ramonda Purple Ramonda Purple Ramonda Purple Ramonda Purple Ramonda Purple Ramonda Purple Ramonda Ramonda Purple Ramonda Purple Ramonda Purple Ramonda From the ashes rises One purple ramonda
WW1. The rock at the beginning symbolizes the island of Corfu where the Serbs retreated, where the skeletons of deceased comrades are still in the sea called the blue tomb. The purple dots going up symbolize the departed souls of the soldiers who gave their lives for the gates going to heaven.Those who recovered returned to the war and liberated Serbia, and thus their return was called the attack of the living dead for the Nazis. The song symbolizes, in addition to Serbia, the situation in the world, that one should not lose hope and that in the end, good always rises and defeats evil, both in the person and in the world. Ramonda is like a phoenix flower in each of us, that piece of the soul that tells us through intuition when something is not good or when we are in trouble and that tranquility when we are at peace.The yellow light that spreads on the floor represents the chaos and destruction that spreads in a moment so that no one can react in time and prevent the chaos. Like a wave of dust, the destruction destroys everything in front of it where at that moment she asks where Lila Ramonda has gone. We don't know what we have until we lose.The thunderbolts symbolize our internal struggles that we lead with ourselves in making the right decisions, and shes faltering is actually our inner question of whether we have made the right decision, as if we are treading on the edge of a knife through life.

What a cute and honest reaction ❤
The blue scenery presents the sea around the Corfu island of Greece where died Serbs were thrown for eternity, cause there was no enough space on the island to bury all the Serbs who went there after attacked from all sides by the most powerful forces of that time. Such a small nation, so brave you can't imagine it. Only 4 months after, just like the flower Ramonda Serbica, the Serbian Army reborn and liberated all teritories where Serbs used to live in all the Balkans. It aroused like from the ashes, just like the Phoenix bird. Just imagine loosing 33% of the total population during WW1, 60% males, and then again after just 20 years in WW2, Serbs again lost more than 1.000.000 people. While being part of Yugoslavia, and even today, this small nation, globally populated only half of the City of London for example, but very proud and honourable, always on the right side of history, strongly supports justice in all the world. Let's pray for the peace globally.

Ramonda serbica, also known as Serbian ramonda and Serbian phoenix flower, is a species in the family Gesneriaceae. The flower was first discovered in 1874 near Niš, Serbia, by the Serbian botanist Josif Pančić. Later, the flower has been observed across the Balkans. Welcome to my country welcome to my Serbia.🌸🌸🌸❤️❤️
pa netačno, postoje tri vrste Ramonde, dve su samo kod nas Serbica i Natalia, a treća je u Španiji i u Grčkoj(na olimpu)

I am really sad for Serbia, they keep sending amasing songs but keeo gettij underated and in odds are 23rd place its way too low for how amasing this song is evan compared to other basic and generic up beat songs. They deserve their flowers 💜🇷🇸🌸🥺
WE NEED THIS IN EUROPE...WE NEED PEACE
About WW1 and Serbia I'm just going to leave you with a quote:
"You are not going to the Italian, or Russian, or the French front. You are heading into battle against a new enemy, a dangerous, tough, brave and sharp enemy. You go to the Serbian front, and Serbia. And Serbs are a people who above all value their freedom. Take care , lest this miniscule enemy overshadow your glory, and compromise the successes of the glorious German Army. " - Field marshal August von Mackensen to his troops before his invasion of Serbia.
Love you bro ♥️ from Serbia's neighbour 🇷🇸♥️🇭🇷❤🇺🇲
My brother, thank you for your interest in our history and our victims, I will just say that you are one of the few who tried to understand the essence of the poem, even if it was in the Serbian language, if you want to visit Serbia, feel free to contact me, I will have it's an honor to host you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
love how you learned about the history and meaning of the song, she gained popularity last year from her viral song Dzanum, thematically very similar to this, check it out!
janum is a song written and composed for the series "south wind" about the tragedy and hopelessness of today's life where the basic compassion of man towards man has been lost. -"no one wants my pain, to be touched by it, to surrender to it...this soul has no home". The song experienced great expansion in Serbia after a few months when two consecutive great tragedies happened in Serbia. And then she continued her journey through TT and the lives of those who lost loved ones. Besides singing, Teodora is also a songwriter and composer of many songs for other artists. She has recorded a couple of songs for herself, and is still wandering around and looking for genres. However, songs like Ramonda and Dzanum suit her best for her voice. Although stylistically they sound the same, Ramonda is far from dramatic, it is a song of hope and love: And there would be light in the darkness, and the darkness would not overwhelm it.
I imagine her , lost, alone, after a difficult battle ( during or after the war) searching for her loved ones ,,, lilac ramonda could be symbol for hope... ..a flower that only needs a drop of water to rise and bloom...she needs hope now, to be like a flower that will rise from the ashes... I think this could be an anti-war song ( the flower is considered a symbol of the struggle and victory of Serbia in the First World War, with the largest number of victims in relation to the number of inhabitants)
I can hear the silent scream to find strength in her broken being and rise above herself..like lila Ramonda
🌷
Thank YOU ❤
You have very, very, very beautiful soul!❤
Thank you brother!

ENGLISH TRANSLATION & ANALYSIS by a SERBIAN NATIVE SPEAKER (please read until the end):
[Verse 1]
There's no rest, no rest for me
I am restless, I cannot sleep
The night won't give way to dawn
Doomed is the one who is alone.
[Verse 2]
It's as if underwater silence reigns
I'm screaming, but you can't hear my pain
Beyond the mountain gleam is white
Yet there's no end in sight
‘Tis the path for the wounded.
[Pre-chorus]
And there's no one to guide me now
To Danitsa the Morning Star
The world's a pyre burning each flower
Where have they evanesced, those lilac ramondas?
[Chorus]
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda.
[Pre-chorus]
And there's no one who would guide me
For all the stars are sound asleep
Saying prayers is of no avail
Where have they evanesced, those lilac ramondas?
[Chorus, break]
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda.
[Chorus]
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda.
[Outro]
From the ashes rises up
A single lilac ramonda.
The song ‘Ramonda’ has a universal symbolism which can be applied to a variety of situations in life. Even though it is originally written as a deeply personal song that anyone can relate to, it can be perceived both as a patriotic song with a fragment of painful Serbian history and a song whose lyrics portray the great suffering of all the people around the world whose countries are devastated by wars and disasters. It is also infused with weltschmerz (= world pain), which is described as a sense of deep sadness at the evils or perils of the world caused by comparing the actual state of the world with an idealised longing for things to be different.
The reason I am bringing weltschmerz up is because not only are people from war-stricken countries suffering but also people from other countries witnessing it and not being able to do anything to stop it. They are also hopeless and probably anxious about the same thing possibly happening to them in the future because this world has become a dangerous place. No one feels safe. Therefore, the lyrics can be interpreted as the internal monologue of both ‘the wounded’ and those who are not wounded yet but are depressed by constant exposure to human suffering through media.
MAIN POINTS OF ANALYSIS:
1) Zvezda Danica, pronounced as /danitsa/, is a feminine name personifying the morning star / Venus in Slavic mythology; it can be found in Serbian lyric poetry. I transliterated it to Danitsa so that non-native speakers wouldn't pronounce it as /danika/.
2) In the phrase ‘lilac ramonda’, ‘lilac’ is an adjective meaning ‘pale purple colour’, not a noun meaning ‘a type of flower’. It's ‘lila’ in Serbian. I used archaic and poetic words in my translation since the original lyrics of the song are quite poetic as well.
3) The island and the surrounding sea at the beginning of the official video could be a reference to the Greek island of Vido and the Ionian sea in which over 5,000 Serbian soldiers were buried during World War I. A Serbian poet Milutin Bojić dedicated his poem 'Plava grobnica' (The Blue Tomb) to these soldiers and this 'blue tomb' is actually the sea around Vido. In this poem, Bojić expressed the tragic fate of Serbia, whose army had passed through the snow-covered mountains of Montenegro and Albania to get to the Greek islands of Corfu and Vido, where they found refuge and shelter. The line 'ko pod vodom tiho je sve' (= everything is quiet like under the water) could be an allusion to the deathly silence of this ‘blue tomb’, the last resting place of the brave Serbian soldiers. The reason why they were thrown into the sea is because there was not enough space on Vido and Corfu. Their corpses were weighted with rocks to prevent them from floating.
4) The title of this song references a flower called ‘Ramonda serbica’ in Latin, a species endemic to Serbia. The mountain called Rtanj is the home to this flower which was discovered in 1874 by a famous Serbian botanist Josif Pančić. Being a living fossil from the Tertiary period, it is capable of surviving extremely harsh conditions. Even if it is completely withered, just a few drops of water can revive it. Natalie's ramonda (natalijina ramonda), the flower of the same genus, is very similar to ‘Ramonda serbica’. It was named after Queen of Serbia Natalija Obrenović, and it is worn as an emblem on Armistice Day in Serbia. This flower, also known as the ‘phoenix flower’, symbolises the unprecedented suffering of the Serbian Army (during the Great Retreat) that managed to rise victoriously like a phoenix from the ashes that World War I, in which Serbia lost one third of its population, had left behind.
5) This song can be interpreted in different ways due to the universal symbolism of ramonda as the beacon of hope for people going through tough times (wars, natural disasters, disease, psychological problems, heartbreaks, etc.). According to my interpretation of the lyrics, the repetition of the line in which the lyric subject wonders where all the ramondas have disappeared (rhetorical question) represents the feeling of powerlessness, hopelessness and despair. However, the outro of the song reminds us that hope springs eternal. Despite all the atrocities occurring in the world, it is in human nature to never lose hope. Disappearing lilac ramondas can also imply the people who are currently being wiped off the face of the earth and who are actually disappearing with no possibility of resurrection, unlike ramondas. From another point of view, ramondas can be the soldiers who died in WWI.
6) Also, there's something magical and unexplainable about the melody of this song. It embodies the spirit of the Serbian people from the 18th, the 19th and the 20th century, the spirit that Stevan Stojanović Mokranjac, the most important composer of Serbian romanticism, wove into his music. This particular atmosphere of the melody can be sensed strongly only by listening to a piano cover. It’s just fascinating.
7) Danitsa (= the bright morning star) is the ONLY thing left for the lyrical subject (= anyone who identifies with the lyrics, not necessarily the author) to guide him through sadness and hopelessness. In other words, the only thing left for people going through great suffering is to wait for Danitsa to appear in the morning sky because only then will they know they survived to see another dawn, another day. I perceive the song as a cry of people who are currently going through wars and great suffering. If we look at the text from that perspective, the first and the second verse describe their psychological state in the form of an internal monologue. They cannot sleep; they feel restless; they are traumatised; they are scared; every night seems like an eternity; they are lonely because it looks to them as if no one is coming to their rescue, and even if they scream, no one will hear them, as if they were underwater. Their cry is muffled. They know that normal life (= white glow) is still happening outside the borders of their countries, and that depresses them because it seems to them as if their suffering is never going to end while somewhere in the distance everything is teeming with life.
8) In the second pre-chorus, a kind of descending gradation can be noticed. In the first pre-chorus, the lyrical subject's glimmer of hope is the morning star (may be Teya Dora's deceased father) while in the second pre-chorus not even that because now all the stars have fallen asleep, which indicates that the lyrical subject is losing hope throughout the song, but since we know that the night is darkest just before the dawn (which can be felt in the musical atmosphere of the silent break before the last chorus), what happens in the outro of the song is peripeteia, i.e. the plot twist when a single lilac ramonda eventually rises from the ashes and the tone of the song changes from depressive to optimistic. Ramonda is the light at the end of the tunnel. By the way, the lyrical subject summons Ramonda in every chorus by repeating its name, as if in the form of a mantra, hoping that it will resurrect, and it eventually does come to life.
9) The official video features the archetype of light vs darkness or good vs evil, which is suggested at the very beginning by quoting a verse from the Gospel of John. I assume that the light sphere from the video actually represents the morning star / the planet Venus and is significantly smaller compared to the amount of darkness that surrounds it in the video. It is what leads Teya Dora through the darkness (= hopelessness) until the break of dawn, the sunrise and the resurrection of ramonda (= hope) that we see at the end. It is known that the morning star is visible until sunrise, which is probably why they made it disappear into the rock just before the sun appears. They also call her Zornjača (= dawn star). Interestingly, the morning star / Venus is the brightest planet in the sky, so it's clear why it is depicted as the guiding star. It may also represent Teya Dora's late father since she devoted this song to him too. In the video, Danitsa and Ramonda are actually two interconnected motifs because they both represent light, hope, birth, new beginnings. Ramonda is born from the light of Danitsa.
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏💜🌸🌸🌸
Thanks bro, congrats and love from Serbia ❤❤❤❤❤❤
In the First World War, Serbia lost about 30% of its population, 60% of its male population. The figure is around 1,200,000 inhabitants who lost their lives. This is perhaps the highest percentage that a country lost in that war. Ramonda is an endemic species and has 3 subspecies. One grows on the Iberian island and in Serbia there is Ramonda Serbica and Natalija's ramonda, which was named after the Serbian queen. Both species are endangered and are protected by law. Natalija's ramonda is also known as the phoenix because it can to dry completely and to revive again when the conditions are favorable. In the First World War, Natalija's ramonda was taken as a symbol of Armistice Day and as a symbol of Serbian suffering in that war, as a new beginning, as a phoenix. The song follows these two stories. It tells where the purple Ramonde disappeared, as a metaphor for the suffering that Serbia suffered. During the performance, purple luminous dots appear on the LED screens that rise and rise. They represent the souls of Serbian soldiers who died defending their country and which go to heaven. At the end of the words, a purple ramonda rises from the ashes. That verse represents the aspiration for a better tomorrow, for the end of war, for the end of suffering, for peace..
Yeah great comment..not only soldiers..all Serbian people..I hope she woll win on competition this year
Blue tomb.
In one part of the song, he says, everything is quiet under the sea. When the Serbian army retreated through Albania to the Greek island of Vido, many soldiers died of disease and hunger. It is estimated that around 5,000 people died then and were thrown into the Ionian Sea for eternal rest. Since then, that place has been called the blue tomb.
@@majstoroviconline Yeah I know that..I know history very well..why you talk to me about that?You dont know many things in WWI because we dont learn about that in school etc..for example brave Irish saved us in WWI..do you know that?

Thank you very much for such a wonderful, beautiful review of this divine song.
Greetings from the Serbian people
Thank you sir, especially for the emphasis on the deeper meaning of this beautiful ballad.
Thank you for the honest reaction from the heart. When it comes to real emotions, you don't even need to understand the language. Sending you all lots of love from Serbia!💖🇷🇸🫶
For those who (perhaps) don't know, the ramonda is our endemic flower species (Ramonda Serbica) and a symbol of the suffering of the Serbs in World War I against Austria-Hungary, i.e. Armistice Day (November 11, 1918) and the final victory. Ramonda is a symbol of Serbia, victory, rebirth and eternity. It is also called the phoenix flower, because it is specific in that it can dry up, and only one drop of water is enough to revive it completely. It was discovered by Josif Pancic in 1874, on Mount Rtanj, near Sokobanja. The song of Teye Dora has strong symbolism, good music with traditional (Byzantine and Serbian) elements, arrangement and text, and in the text I especially like the (Serbian) motifs of the star Danica and Ramonda, as well as the beginning, whose rhythmicity and parallelism are very they remind us of our folk (oral) literature. Not to mention her voice. PS. Armistice Day is a non-working day in Serbia, and it is also celebrated in Great Britain, Belgium, New Zealand and France, while it is "Remembrance Day" in the countries of the British Commonwealth, and "Veterans Day" in the USA.

Veliko postovanje za gospodina. Dodji nekad u Srbiju bices docekam ko niko, hrana itd...savrsenstvo...❤❤❤
Thank you❤
💜🇷🇸💜
Masterpiece ❤❤❤
Thank u for this emotional video. This is very important about beautiful flowers ramonda. The Natalie's Ramonda flower possesses a remarkable ability to revive even when fully dehydrated and demonstrates adaptability to harsh environments. As a result, this plant bears national symbol in Serbia, reflecting the resiliance of the Serbian struggle in World War I and symbolizing the rebirth and revival of the country.
Great video man..Regards from Serbia
It is always that about Serbs...much deeper meaning ❤
Many can't understand us...and never will
Thank you so much for understanding the song and our history 💖
Translation of lyric
There's no, there's no peace for me Restless, sleepless with no dreams Night forbids the dawn to come
Hardest for the lonesome
Underwater, silent and bound
I'm screaming but tthere's no sound
Above the hills is glowing white
But with no end in sight
For wounded is this path
No one's there to guide me
to brightnes of the Morning star
World is burning , every flower
Where've they disapired?
Lilac Ramondas
Lilac Ramonda x8
There's no guide to take on me
The stars are gone, they fell asleep
Even prayers dont help
Where've they disapired?
Lilac Radmondas
Lilac Ramonda x8
From the ashes rising high...
Just one Lilac Ramonda

Thanks, very nice reaction, you are such a nice guy who did his research. Kudos!
Good thing about the song is that even the inspiration comes from the population we lost in ww1, I believe that everyone who feel a bit lost, desperate, in pain, are going through a rough patch, can find themselves in this song. The person is sad, devastated but still searching for the light. And the song ends on the positive note, with resurrected Ramonda. 😊
Yeah our history is truly amazing, and we were always on the right side
Serbia 2025❤❤❤
Thank you bro...
You are a good man! Good man! You tach my Serbian soul and hart.We are ,,crying people,, of the long centuries pains.Gad bles you.❤
Here is the text in English, but I will give you also some insight, so that you can understand. The part of feeling and sensation will be lost In translation, but it should work
"I don't have, I don't have, I don't have
I have no peace, no sleep
Night don't let the day to come
It is difficult for the one who is alone
Everything is quiet like under water
I scream but it is not heard
Behind the mountains, a white glow
I don't see the end in sight
This is the way for the wounded
And there is no one to guide me
Towards the light of Danica star (Northern star)
Everything burns, everything burns;
Every flower, every flower
Where did the Lila Ramondas go?
And there is no one to guide me
Because the stars are all asleep
Not even prayers help
Where did the Lila Ramondas go?
......
It rises from the ashes
One lilac ramonda"
During WWI, the complete Serbian army was forced to retreat from Serbia, via Albania to Greece, in what was one of the most horrific withdraw in known history, where many died from hunger, illnes and attacks ftom the Albanian gangs. Later. From the coast of Albania, allied ships were transported them to Greece. Some ships were attacked by Germans and a lot of Serbian solders died under the watter.
In the Greek island Corfu, Serbian army recovered, but still thousands of them died from exhaustion and illnes. When there were no more empty land to bury the dead on Corfu, they were buried in the sea, which is known in Greece and Serbia as the Blue tomb
When recovered, Serbian army broke Thessaloniki front line, moving very fast thus leaving allied troops far, far behind while destroying Germans and liberating Serbia.
In WWI, Serbia lost almost 1/3 of its population, and 60% of male population
Ramonda Serbica and Natalia Ramonda are the flower of lilac (purple) color, that can dry out completely when conditions are bad, and it can resurrect again after a long time with just a few drops of a watter. It is also called the Phoenix flower
So I hope that I can help you understand how heavy this song is, but still full of hope
The terrible situation in which the Serbs were, but even though it seems that the lilac Ramonda have disappeared (for Serbs, that flower is a symbol of faith in liberation), still one rises from the ashes (faith in the beginning of liberation).
On Serbia's liberation day, people are wearing the Ramonda symbol on their dresses.
In the official music video for this song, at the very beginning there is a message in English: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it" or in the translation "And the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it" which is the text from the Gospel according to John 1:5. It further reinforces the message of the song and indicates the artist's attitude.
Thank you from Serbia ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this great review, much appreciated 😍❤️love you 2 da 🌜 and back too 🇷🇸

The Best Song❤
The song "Ramonda" by Teya takes its name from the "Ramonda serbica" flower, which is found mainly in Serbia and nearby regions. This flower, discovered by a Serbian scientist in 1884, has a remarkable ability to revive even after completely drying out, earning it the nickname "the phoenix flower." Similarly, Natalie's Ramonda, a close relative of the same genus, is known in Serbia as "Natalijina ramonda" after Queen Natalija Obrenović. It became a symbol of victory in World War I, representing Serbia's resilience after losing nearly a third of its population.
The song explores themes of loneliness and the resilience to bounce back from adversity, mirroring the Ramonda flower's ability to revive with just a drop of water. The official video clip includes a quote from the Gospel of John, emphasising the enduring power of light over darkness.
The island featured in the video represents Corfu, Greece, where Serbian soldiers found refuge during World War I after facing dire circumstances. Greece provided Serbia with essential support, although many perished upon arrival and were laid to rest at sea. This aspect of the song serves as a poignant tribute to ancestors who overcame overwhelming odds.
Ramonda❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ramonda = 🌸I don't, I don't, I don't
I have no peace, I have no sleep
It doesn't let night come day
Woe to the one who is alone
As if under water, everything is quiet
I scream, but it is not heard
Behind the mountains, a white glow, I can't see the end
This time is for the wounded
And there is no one to guide me
To the bright star Danica
Burning world (Burning world)
Every flower (every flower)
Where did they disappear (disappear)
Lila Ramonde?
Lilac ramonda, lilac ramonda
Lila ramonda, lila ramonda-a, yes-a
Ramonda, ramonda's lilac
Lila Ramonda, Lila Ramonda (Ramonda)
And there is no one to guide me
Because the stars are all asleep
Prayers don't help either
Where did they disappear (disappear)
Lila Ramonde?
Lilac ramonda, lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda, lilac ramonda
Lila ramonda, Lila ramonda (a)
Lila ramonda, lila ramonda, ah-a
Ramonda, ramonda's lilac (a)
Lila Ramonda, Lila Ramonda (Ramonda)
It rises from the ashes
One lilac ramonda

I have no peace I have no sleep
Night won't allow day to come
It's hard for the one who's alone
Everything is as quiet as under water.
I'm screaming but I am not heard
Behind the mountains white glow
I can't see the end
This road is for the wounded.
There's no one to lead me

Indeed - hats off to you sir for this objective review!
This gives me the same feeling like Jamala's 1944. An emotional song about the country's history, with great stage effects.
Thank you...for tryng to understand the essence
Thank you❤
WW1. The rock at the beginning symbolizes the island of Corfu where the Serbs retreated, where the skeletons of deceased comrades are still in the sea called the blue tomb. The purple dots going up symbolize the departed souls of the soldiers who gave their lives for the gates going to heaven.Those who recovered returned to the war and liberated Serbia, and thus their return was called the attack of the living dead for the Nazis. The song symbolizes, in addition to Serbia, the situation in the world, that one should not lose hope and that in the end, good always rises and defeats evil, both in the person and in the world. Ramonda is like a phoenix flower in each of us, that piece of the soul that tells us through intuition when something is not good or when we are in trouble and that tranquility when we are at peace.The yellow light that spreads on the floor represents the chaos and destruction that spreads in a moment so that no one can react in time and prevent the chaos. Like a wave of dust, the destruction destroys everything in front of it where at that moment she asks where Lila Ramonda has gone. We don't know what we have until we lose.The thunderbolts symbolize our internal struggles that we lead with ourselves in making the right decisions, and shes faltering is actually our inner question of whether we have made the right decision, as if we are treading on the edge of a knife through life.
Bugari, legedno, Bugari......kakvi Nacisti, nemoj da nas brukas, promeni to.
Thank you brother 🙏💜
Thank you 💜🩷🌸
