Written by the revolutionary and poet Yani Popov in 1903.
It was inspired by the "Sarmashik Affair," a tragic battle during the struggle for Bulgarian liberation in the Adrianople region.
Folk artists like Zdravko Mandadjiev have also released dedicated albums featuring the track.
🚩 The song is traditionally performed at the Petrova Niva memorial service every August to honor the fallen revolutionaries of the Strandja region. If you're looking for a specific version, tell me: Do you need the full lyrics for a project? Are you trying to find a specific modern remix ?
