I just downloaded Nomads of the Silk Road off of amazon and one of the tracks seems to have a serious dump cut. Rumelaj, which is one of my favorite songs, is only 2:39 and it just ends mid-phrase. Any thoughts on this? Does anyone have the full version and how long is it actually supposed to be?

Thanks,

Tayissa

    It is a short song too simple to make into a longer track, and ends in an odd place.
    All on purpose

        probably. the lyrics don't take long to learn, and it's fun to sing.

            not sure. there was alot of debate among the Balkan music people about the meaning. if i remember correctly, the dialect was Bojas (i probably misspelled that, the s needs a little swish thingy that indicates an 'sh' sound) which is a smaller tribe. some said the song was just calling to his sweety, some argued that it was saying, 'come here and let me get a handfull.'
            as far as i'm concerned, it is the dancer that intrerpets the song, so let her hear what she will, no matter what the songwriter had on his mind.
