Zaspala Moma

A boy has a hard time waking his girlfriend, asleep under a quince tree.

This is a Bulgarian folk song for two voices, from Nedelino. Here is a recording by The Georgiev Sisters from 1988, collected by Nikolay Yankov Kaufman. Another version was released by Lidia & Venelina Hadzhieva in 2000. We are singing a shortened version, drawing from both of these.
