Description
Hadzhi Dimitar (Хаджи Димитър in Bulgarian), was a Bulgarian revolutionary working for the Liberation of Bulgaria from Ottoman rule.

My friend Fayen-ri told me that one of my bloody drawings with Viktor reminded her a very popular Bulgarian poem. After some researches, I discovered this metal version and I so much fell in love with it that I wanted to make a little quick illustration !
So here is dying Dimitar with the flag (yes, the real one -> LINK ...and this wtf animal is a... lion I guess ???? XDDD Hey Bulgarians, try to learn how to draw a lion please !) of his band on which it is written : "Take up arms dear brothers." (На оружя мили братя).

Here is the english translation that I found here : LINK

He's alive, he's alive! There on the Balkan Mountain
Drowning in his blood, groaning

A hero lies with a deep wound in his chest

A hero in his youth, in his prime.

His rifle's cast to one side

His broken sword the other

His eyes dim - his head reels

As his mouth curses the universe!

The hero lies, while in the sky

The angry sun bakes down

A harvest girl sings in far-off field

And his blood flows more quickly now!

It's harvest time ... so sing, you slave girls

Sing your sad songs! And you, sun -

Shine on that slavish land! This hero

Will perish too ... but be quiet, my heart!

He who falls in freedom's fight

Dies not - he's mourned

By earth and sky, Nature and beast,

And singers remember him in song...

Evening comes - the moon rises

Stars flood the vaulted sky

The woods rustle, the wind blows -

The Balkan sings a hajdut song!

He who falls in freedom's fight

Dies not - he's mourned

By earth and sky, Nature and beast
And singers remember him in song.

PS : I love this song too, from the same cool band, Eпизод ("Epizod") : LINK
