"The Death of Omer and Merima" is a Serbian folk ballad of love. Young Omer loves Merima, but his mother forces him to marry another, the wealthy Fata; the poem sings of the clash between the heart and parental will, of fidelity and sorrow. It is worth listening to for the forceful expression and emotional power of the folk verse.
