Krsna slava
Aca Ilic · Other Songs - Aca Ilic
na pola se s' kumom deli
slavska sveca i kandilo
oduvek je tako bilo
Ref.
Slavio je otac moj
radovo se slavi toj
ceo zivot svoj
Sada slavu slavim ja
da ostane, da se zna
da se sacuva
Pod ikonu kum nas seda
obicaje da nadgleda
jabuke se deci daju
kad "Oce nas" procitaju
Ref.
Kad je slava toga dana
sve mirise od tamljana
i ti, sine, slavu slavi
u veselju i ljubavi
Ref.
Krsna slava
Aca Ilić's 'Krsna slava' stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav rock, capturing the raw energy and spiritual intensity of the era. Released in the mid-1980s, the track exemplifies the genre's fusion of heavy guitar riffs with folk-inflected vocals, creating a sound that resonated deeply across the Balkans. The song's title references the traditional Serbian celebration of the Lord's Supper, a theme Ilić often wove into his work to explore themes of faith, struggle, and redemption. As a cornerstone of his discography, 'Krsna slava' remains a powerful recording that showcases his ability to blend religious symbolism with the rebellious spirit of rock music, cementing his legacy as a pivotal figure in Yugoslav alternative rock history.
