(Eurovision Version – Orchestral Balkan Rock) 🎵 Verse 1 Voices call across the hills, Ancient songs the night still fills, Trumpets cry and hearts awake, In our hands, the earth will shake. 🎵 Pre-Chorus From village fires to city light, The old and new ignite— A single heartbeat in the dark, A legacy that leaves its mark. 🎵 Chorus Echoes of the Balkans, wild and free, Blood and rhythm, memory, Through the storm, our spirit strong, We are the drum, we are the song. Echoes rising, centuries long— We are the drum, we are the song. 🎵 Verse 2 Thunder rolls from peak to plain, Every joy and every pain, Tamburas weave the tales we keep, Loud as war, and soft as sleep. Jovial feet on sacred ground, Dancing where our souls are bound, From the mountains to the sea, We carry ancient harmony. 🎵 Pre-Chorus From village fires to city light, The old and new ignite— A single heartbeat in the dark, A legacy that leaves its mark. 🎵 Chorus Echoes of the Balkans, wild and free, Blood and rhythm, memory, Through the storm, our spirit strong, We are the drum, we are the song. Echoes rising, centuries long— We are the drum, we are the song. 🎵 Bridge (Balkan Brass + Choir Build-Up) Ho-ja, ho-ja— Voices calling louder! Ho-ja, ho-ja— Hearts and mountains prouder! Let the trumpets lead the night, Turn the darkness into light, All together, we belong— We are the drum, we are the song! 🎵 Final Chorus (Full Orchestra + Balkan Brass) Echoes of the Balkans, wild and free, Blood and rhythm, memory, Through the storm, our spirit strong, We are the drum, we are the song. Echoes rising, centuries long— We are the drum, we are the song. In our hearts, the mountains roar— Echoes of the Balkans evermore!
