А new song dedicated to Donald Trump is making the rounds on Bulgarian social media
It originates in... the village of Zabardo, in the heart of the Rhodope mountain range. Scripted by Valentin Cherpokov, Zabardo's mayor, it was sung by a local group called The Euro-Grannies, accompanied by a traditional Rhodope bagpipe. Here is a translation of the lyrics:
Oh, Donald Donald, you president,
You bring peace to the whole world.
Bravo to you that you undertake,
You undertake to bring peace.
You send news of peace,
Peace in the whole of Europe,
Let there be peace and love,
Because that damned and cruel war,
Many mothers are in tears,
Many kids and many widows.
Cherpokov explained he was inspired to write the lyrics as he watched the late news one night. He heard the US President wanted peace, not a Third World War. Then he switched on to his Viber app, where he jotted down the lyrics.
The plan is to record the song on a CD and deliver it to the American Embassy in Sofia whence it should be forwarded to The White House, Cherpokov said, adding: "We are just a small Rhodope village, but we care about the world problems and we are a champion of peace. Everything we do in the village is meant to ensure peace in Bulgaria and worldwide."
Previously, the village of Zabardo advertised itself as the Bulgarian Hollywood. A crude contraption placed centrally claims to be the first Ferris Wheel in the world.
