Rasti, rasti moj zeleni bore - traditional Serbian song ("Savior" soundtrack)

"Savior" (OST) - this song was used in the movie "Savior". I believe the singer is Vasilisa Brankica Vasic but I may be wrong.

I am not an author of this song and I did not make any changes to it - this is exactly as it is in the movie. NO COPYRIGHT INTENDED!

I only added the video to the voice to visualize the lyrics. It is not for monetary purposes!

This song is very personal to me and I decided to make a video to be able to look at it when I needed to remind myself of this song. I hope this video will find a way to your heart and inspire you and make your heart sing.

A little story behind the song:

This is an old folk Serbian song from Nerodimlje, a small area and village from south Kosovo, next to Šar mountaine. It was noted in the end of the 19th century. Village Nerodimlje is known as place where some of serbian medieval kings from Nemanjic dinasty lived (this song called ''Grow up, grow up my green pine tree'', is about them). The legend says that king Milutin and emperor Dušan the Great planted two pine trees. During centuries, for about 650 years, people from the village made a lot of legends, rituals and songs about these two trees, and one of theese songs is this song. These trees were very high, big and very unusual, impressive and old too.

Расти, расти, мој зелени боре,
Расти, расти, мој зелени боре.
 
Да се пењем тебе о врхове,
Да се пењем тебе о врхове.
 
Па да гледам доле низ друмове,
Па да гледам доле низ друмове.
 
Покрај друма зелени се трава,
Покрај друма зелени се трава.
 
Ту ми драги на душеку спава,
Ту ми драги на душеку спава.

Rasti, rasti, moj zeleni bore,
Rasti, rasti, moj zeleni bore.
 
Da se penjem tebe o vrhove,
Da se penjem tebe o vrhove.

Pa da gledam dole niz drumove,
Pa da gledam dole niz drumove.
 
Pokraj druma zeleni se trava,
Pokraj druma zeleni se trava.

Grow, grow, my green forest,
Grow, grow, my green forest.

I have to climb to the tops,
I have to climb to the tops.

So I can look down the road,
So I can look down the road.

By the road the grass is green,
By the road the grass is green.
