Lyrics
Intro
Aj-de
Opa
Mmm
Chorus
Give me wine
Give me life
Grandmother sang under the mountain peak
Grandfather drank near the old stone creek
Under the sky where the ancestors sleep
Under the sky where the promises keep
Sing for the valley and sing for the soul
God keeps the wine jars full and whole
Verse 1
Wood smoke rises
Heels hit the hard dirt ground
Violin strings scream above the village noise
Swift white dress
Balkan winds
Pre-Chorus
My heart is a drum
My spirit is young
Our fathers are watching
Chorus
Give me wine
Give me life
Grandmother sang under the mountain peak
Grandfather drank near the old stone creek
Under the sky where the ancestors sleep
Under the sky where the promises keep
Sing for the valley and sing for the soul
God keeps the wine jars full and whole
Post-Chorus
Ej more
Opa opa
Ziveli
Verse 2
Rakiya pours
Sweat on the brow
A cafe stool turns into a kingly throne
Green grass bowing
Golden sun
Pre-Chorus
My heart is a drum
My spirit is young
Our fathers are watching
Chorus
Give me wine
Give me life
Grandmother sang under the mountain peak
Grandfather drank near the old stone creek
Under the sky where the ancestors sleep
Under the sky where the promises keep
Sing for the valley and sing for the soul
God keeps the wine jars full and whole
Bridge
Earth under fingernails
Iron in the blood
Salt in the bread we break tonight
God sees the dancer
God sees the light
God sees the feast
Chorus
Give me wine
Give me life
Grandmother sang under the mountain peak
Grandfather drank near the old stone creek
Under the sky where the ancestors sleep
Under the sky where the promises keep
Sing for the valley and sing for the soul
God keeps the wine jars full and whole
