Lyrics video for the song “Oh, Shipka“ by the Bulgarian band Epizod, in Bulgarian, Russian and English.
The lyrics are based on the work of the Bulgarian poet and writer Ivan Vazov and describe the battle for Shipka Peak where a handful of Bulgarian and Russian soldiers prevailed while being vastly outnumbered and outgunned by the Ottomans in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878, which resulted in Bulgaria’s independence from the Ottoman Empire after over 500 years of slavery and oppression.
