Kadi gjili so gjilabav is a sad love song in which a girl expresses her pain of love and says that she almost has to die from it.
Musical transcription based on the booklet accompanying the CD Amare gila - Unsere Lieder / Our Songs
In the Lovari tradition, it is customary for a woman not to sing without the prompting of a male reference person. Therefore, in the following recording, which was made during a performance at the Interkulttheater, Mišo Nikolić can be heard asking his wife Ruža Nikolić-Lakatos to sing. The last line of Kodo phende sa le Roma, in a free translation, says: “Ruža, sing me my song, sing it for me with all your heart, let the others hear it and sing it too.” This is a musical interpretation of the request, usually spoken within a family context. Mišo Nikolić created this intro, especially for the beginning of the stage program at the Interkulttheater.
The performance by Ruža Nikolić-Lakatos and Mišo Nikolić at the Interkulttheater in 1993 begins with Mišo singing the song Kodo phende sa le Roma. Keeping the Lovari tradition, he asks his wife Ruža to sing. She appears on stage and begins with Kadi gjili so gjilabav.
