Why did the car hit that girl?

Deersbee, I loved that Stefka Sabotinova song. So beautiful! I'm sending my sister a link to the video. She may enjoy it, since she is a folk musician with quite a lot of experience in Turkish folk music and dance.
What is the album with that song on it? I couldn't find anything on amazon

Tero, I added that Peter Bjorn and John record to my amazon cart

The video has nothing to do with the song, I don't know who combined the two. The song is about "the mountain bent and buried two shepherds, they entreat the mountain to release them, one says "my beloved is waiting for me", the second one says "my old mother is waiting for me", the mountain responds: "the beloved will mourn half a day (for a while), the mother will mourn to the grave (for ever)".

Here the original version of the song:

Here a choral version of the song:

Here another song with pop arrangement sung by Stefka Subotinova, again, a stupid video that has nothing to do with the song, don't know what idiot put it, with Turkish writing at that, a purely Bulgarian song, sung in Bulgarian:

The open singing technique is certainly spectacular, but this is how every peasant woman in Bulgaria has sung in earlier times, nothing to do with the voice, anybody can learn to sing like that.
