"Lale li si, zyumbyul li si", "Izgryala e mesechinka", "Sitno se 'oro zavi"... There are many songs that we know performed by the legendary folk singer Verka Siderova - one of the golden voices of the Philip Kutev ensemble.
"Whatever I could, I did in my life. I live and I want to live. Some probably think that you just get bored, but you continue to eat, sleep, have fun. It's not that simple. My grandmother used to say that "while the watcher is still watching, you're still living", and I'm still singing. And when I'm silent, I want to be there, in Dobrudja, where my mom, dad and my close people are. And if they put me a chick with an open beak, so yeah it sings to me! I know that the grasses and the flowers above me will sing again!"
