On the crossroads of genres / CD Ulika review
Ulika is simply an extraordinary album, which defies every traditional critical meter; a fascinating project of an equisite musical journey, carried out with unhibited musical imagination and the luxurious talent of Tamara and her band.
Zlatko Gall, Split, Feral tribune, August 1998.
2. CANSONEITA
zuta al siel la veivo
la bela zornada
biata
forte forte al sul
e la zeigala canta
chei canta
cu la canta
la se inamura
se inamura cumo mei
al me corpo
ouna carisa sula
nuva
in t’al varto l’aio
a paso s’cito naso
al criso
in tra le feile douto reiddo
douto reido cumo mei
2. A LITTLE SONG
a beautiful day lives
under the sky
blissful
the hot sun is shining
the cicada sings
o how it sings
whwn she sings
she falls in love
she falls in love like me
a single caress
on my body
new
the garlick is sprouting
in the garden
with limpid movement
it grow
between the rows it all laughs
it all laughs like me
(Loredana Bogliun)
3. TANAC
divojka bi tancala
pošla bi na samanj
3. DANCE
girl wants to dance
she wants to go to the fair
4. VINOVA LOZA
žedna zemlja se dažda napila
lozu'j rodila
žedna loza se sunca napila
aj grojza nam donila
?rnega bilega tananaj naj
?rnega bilega rodila, ooj
težakinja je trse pazila
grojze'j gladila
trda ruka je grojze pobrala
aj brentu'j nosila
?rnega bilega tanana naj
?rnega i bilega nosila, ooj
4. THE VINE
the thirsty land has drank the rain
has brought the vine
the thirsty vine has drunk up the sun
ay, has brought us grape
red, white tananajnaj
has brought us red white ooj
the woman has tenderly cared for the vines
caressed the grapes
the work-hardened hand has picked the grapes
carried the cask
red white tananajnaj
has carried red, white ooj
5. JOH
joh je mani drugo vrime ?e dojti
joh paran da foši s vragon ?u pojti
joh joh
5. DEAR ME
dear me a different time will come
dear me, i think that maybe i am loosing my mind
dear me
6. ŠENICA
glej tamo zdolu se lela šenica
aj pod nogami trpi crljenica
moja mi duša leti kakoj tica
tanananaj
?rni su vrhi kadi sunce zajde
mrzla je bura ?a dube ubajde
sprida je vala
maj uzada su brajde , ooj
6. WHEAT
look downthere the weat is rippling
under our feet the red land is suffering
my, my soul is flying like a bird
ta na na naj….
the peak are dark where the sun sets
the wind is cold which searches the trees
a valley is front, the vineyards’ re behind
ta na na naj….
7. ?RNO ZLO
svi ma?ki me grebu
ma svi breki grizu
voli trupaju i mravi ?iplju
svi vognji me pe?u
sva voda me guši
prsti pipaju jaziki ližu
sve o?i me gledaju
sve uši slušaju
svi noži me rižu
sve škare me strižu
sve kose me kose
svi srpi me žanju
sva klišta me stiš?u
svi bati me kuju
svi konopi me vežu
i sve peze me pežu
ninega ni po Boga
ki bi mi pomoga
ko bi moga
najti svoju i moju
krivicu i pravicu
7. DARK EVIL
all cats scratch me
and all dogs bite me
all bulls kick me
and all ants nip at me
all water drowns me
fingers touch me
tongues lick me
all eyes are on me
all ears listen to me
all knives cut me
all scissors clip me
all scythes sweep me
all sickles reap me
all grindstones grind me
all pliers squeeze me
all hammers smite me
all ropes tie me
and all scales measure me
there is nobody for God’s sake
who could help me
who could find
his and my own
guilt and justice
(Milan Rakovac)
9. ZAKANTAJ
dojdi dojdi
snamom zakantaj
kad kantaš
je laglje zaj na kraj
9. SING
come, come
sing with me
when you sing
it's easier to go on
10. CANZONA
sotto il cielo vive
la bella giornata
beata
forta forte e' il sole
la cicala canta
che canta
quando canta
s'innamora
s'innamora
come me
10. A SONG
a beautiful day lives
under the sky
blissful
the hot sun is shining
the cicada sings
oh how it sings
when she sings
she falls in love
she falls in love
like me
11. DIVOJKA
divojka vodu nosila
i pjesmu pjevala
la la la la la la la
divojka vodu prolila
a pjesma ostala
la la la la la la la
vodica kapala je
vodica kap
divojka plakala je
divojka plak
11. THE MAIDEN
the maiden carried the water
and seng a song
la la la la la la la
the maiden spilled the water,
but the song remained
la la la la la la la
the water dripped
and dripped
the maiden cried and cried
a teardrop
13. ULIKA
bila je daž
uni dan kad je poša
njoja je duša ustarala
brižna su dica
poli gnjišta se stisla
?ako je poša poša'j ?ja
?ako'j poša poša'j ?ja
kamo'j poša ja ne znan
dani ud dažda
ve? su zdavni pasali
njoja je duša ?ekala
brižna su dica
poli gnjišta ustala
?ako je poša poša'j ?ja
?ako'j poša poša'j ?ja
nikad doša nikad maj
13. ULIKA
it rained
the day he left
her soul withered
poor were the children
alone by the fireplace
father’s gone, he’s gone away
father’s gone, he’s gone away
where has he gone I don’t know
the rainy days
have long gone past
her soul waited
poor were the children
alone by the fireplace
father’s gone, he’s gone away
father’s gone, he’s gone away
he never came
