Nikad mi se ne spava (duet Mostar Sevdah Reunion)

sto cu sada, moj jarane
gdje god podjem njoj se vratim
sebe ne mogu da shvatim
Ko muha sam ja bez glave
doci ce mi ona glave
i po danu i po noci
progone me njene oci
Ref.
Nikad mi se, bolan, ne spava
udje neki vrag u mene
probude se oci snene
ja ne cekam ni do jutra
bolje danas nego sutra
daj da ljubim usne njene
Nikad mi se, bolan, ne spava
ja ne cekam ni do jutra
bolje danas nego sutra
daj da ljubim usne njene
Ko muha sam ja bez glave
doci ce mi ona glave
i po danu i po noci
progone me njene oci
Nikad mi se, bolan, ne spava
udje neki vrag u mene
probude se oci snene
ja ne cekam ni do jutra
bolje danas nego sutra
daj da ljubim usne njene
Ref.
Ja ne cekam ni do jutra
bolje danas nego sutra
daj da ljubim usne njene
Nikad mi se ne spava (duet Mostar Sevdah Reunion)
Al Dino's rendition of 'Nikad mi se ne spava' stands as a definitive example of the Mostar Sevdah Reunion, a historic gathering that revitalized the traditional Bosnian folk genre known as sevdalinka. Recorded during the mid-1980s, this duet captures the emotional depth and melodic complexity characteristic of the era's revival movement. The song reflects the enduring cultural significance of sevdalinka, which blends elements of Ottoman, Balkan, and Arab musical traditions into a distinct regional style. As a staple of the genre, the recording showcases the vocal prowess of Al Dino alongside his partner, emphasizing themes of longing and separation that resonate deeply within the community. This work remains a celebrated contribution to the broader canon of Yugoslav and Balkan music, preserving the lyrical heritage of the region for future generations.
