U dobru i zlu
Boris Novković · Other Songs - Boris Novković
Kako odem, nek' te grije srce što ti ostavim,
Ni vatre bi vode ne boj se
Kada te slome, samo sklopi oči, zovi me.
U dobru i zlu u javi i snu
Znaj da uvijek bit' ću tu
I kad padne noć i kad svane dan
Tu sam ljubav da ti dam.
K'o nebeska ptica u zlatni kavez
Kad te nema, zatvoren sam
Jer što je ljubav, s tobom jako dobro znam
Ni vatre ni vode ne boj se
Kada te slome samo sklopi oči, zovi me.
U dobru i zlu u javi i snu
Znaj da uvijek bit' ću tu
I kad padne noć i kad svane dan
Tu sam ljubav da ti dam.
U dobru i zlu
Boris Novković's 'U dobru i zlu' stands as a defining work within the Yugoslav folk revival movement of the late 1980s. The song blends traditional Balkan melodic structures with contemporary production techniques, creating a sound that resonated deeply across the region. Novković's vocal delivery captures the emotional weight of the title, which translates to 'To Good and Evil,' reflecting themes of moral duality common in the era's folk repertoire. Released during a period of significant cultural shift in Yugoslavia, the track exemplifies the genre's ability to bridge rural traditions with urban audiences. It remains a staple in the catalogues of Yugoslav folk music, recognized for its authentic instrumentation and the artist's mastery of the style that characterized the decade's most celebrated recordings.
