Talk:Sava Kovačević

Montenegrin Serb

To those who claim Sava was a Montenegrin Serb: he was never claimed to be anything else but a Montenegrin and was born in a little village near Niksic, thus the chances of him being a Serb are next to none. Maybe his name, SAVA instead of SAVO made you think he was a Serb, but he was not. There are many Montenegrins and Bosnians with the name Sava, but in contrary to the Serbian pronounciation "Saa-va", here its pronounced "Sa-va".

What his birthplace and pronunciation of his name have with his ethnic affiliation? Until 1878 Nikšić was in Herzegovina. And You should keep on mind that Montenegrin is also regional designation. -- Bojan  Talk  19:04, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

"There are many Montenegrins and Bosnians with the name Sava"

Of course many Montenegrins and Bosnians have the name Sava, because many of them are Serbs. Only a Serb would give his child a name after a Serbian Saint. I understand your constant thrive to ethnically cleanse, NATO and UN occupied territories like Bosnia and Kosovo, of Serbs, and you are in need of such lunatic propaganda, but please refrain yourself when editing articles. This is not a political playground. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.191.59.241 (talk) 23:22, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Might be too late but I'm friends with some of his descendants and based on their family's history, he was Montenegrin alright. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.148.193.191 (talk) 19:39, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

This article should be primary topic, since those neighborhoods are named after him. -- Bojan  Talk  18:57, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

original song text / lyrics

It appears that the source of the original song lyrics (http://www.leksikon-yu-mitologije.net/read.php?id=3934) may have 1 word wrong or possibly a variation in lyrics - namely "A nas stari heroj Sava" should probably read "A nas dragi heroj Sava" according to the sang lyrics of an old record found at 2 minutes 4 seconds (2nd repeat) and can be heard on YT here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skue0ec5Bn8

It is hard to hear but it appears that the word is almost certainly not "stari" but "dragi" or even "pravi", but "dragi" is the most likely case, especially as heard right after 2 minutes and 4 seconds of the mentioned video which contains the sang lyrics. If anyone has a better version of the translation or even the very original text from a book or similar it would be highly appreciated as I really want to know what the word in question is for sure. Perhaps the mentioned version on YT is yet another variation of the lyrics.

Also added to the translation of the song in English is the word "war" which does not appear in the original text at the end (but is somewhat implied), this was done because it rhymes better. I hope that the new adapted version of the translation of the song can stay as I've spent over an hour on it and have full confidence that the meaning, sense and style of the song remains unchanged while at the same time sounding much better.
