da nikada ne dodjem
prijatelje koje znam
ne poznajem kad prodjem
Kao da me nikada
na svijetu nije bilo
kao da me njezino
tijelo nije htilo
Moja pjesma miruje
a furala bi furke
lijepe dekle moderne
ne padaju na zurke
Brijem bradu, brkove
da licim na pankrte
jos da imam fendera
vidio bi svirke
Ref. 2x
Balkane, Balkane, Balkane moj
budi mi silan i dobro mi stoj
Mi smo ljudi cigani
sudbinom prokleti
uvijek neko oko nas
dodje pa nam prijeti
Ni bendovi nisu vise
kao sto su bili
i moj se amaterski
priprema da sviri
Ref. 2x

While the track is less commercially prominent than other entries on the album, such as "Tko to tamo pjeva" or "Jesi li sama veceras," it remains a significant artistic statement within the catalogue. Its enduring presence in the archive reflects its value as a cultural artifact, showcasing the group's ability to reinterpret folk traditions for contemporary audiences without relying on direct lyrical translation.
