U Kozi Krokodila
Bajaga · Hitovi
Te ljude opija vino, ljubavne pesme i vlast
Kada prolazis gradom, ulice gledas u lice
Ti si zena iz zemlje koju napustaju ptice
A svoje srce krijes u kozi krokodila
I gledas me u lice sa ocima civila
Ti si zena iz snova sto zemlju gazi bez stida
A ja sam severni vetar koji te pogledom skida
A svoje srce krijes u kozi krokodila
I gledas me u lice sa ocima civila
U Kozi Krokodila
Bajaga i Evropa's 1986 hit 'U Kozi Krokodila' stands as a cornerstone of Yugoslav rock, blending traditional folk melodies with electric rock instrumentation. Released on the compilation album Hitovi, the track exemplifies the band's signature style of reimagining Serbian folk songs for a modern audience. The song became an anthem for the era, capturing the spirit of post-war Yugoslavia and influencing generations of Balkan musicians. Its enduring popularity stems from its catchy rhythm and the band's ability to transform cultural heritage into accessible pop-rock. As a defining recording from the mid-80s, it remains a vital part of the region's musical history and is frequently covered by artists across the former Yugoslavia.
