 ÌýÌýListen to Tea Hodzic perform 'Sonja', accompanied on Portugese guitar by Dave Kelbie from her band, Szapora
'Sonja' is a really popular song from former Yugoslavia - everyone knew it and you'd always hear it at parties. The lyrics tells of a jealous man who kills his wife’s lover. Now that just sounds like a song about a crime, but its more beautiful than that. He stabs his wife’s lover and ends up imprisoned for life in Siberia but for the rest of his life he’s longing for his wife. That’s actually the point of the whole story, so it’s very much a love song. And Sonja is obviously the name of his wife. Every single night, he’s dreaming about her. The time is passing but his love is eternal.
When I recorded this song, I took the CD home and my mother was visting us. When she heard the song she started crying. It had been her mother’s favourite song though I didn't know that when I originally chose the song. It was a really weird coincidence. For me, it brings back memories of beautiful days I had in Sarajevo, of all my friends who are there, of my first love.
