Kako je tesko kad se voli
Bajro Zulic · Other Songs - Bajro Zulic
slusaj gitaru sto tiho svira
veceras ne diraj stare rane
pokloni bolnome srcu mira
Ref.
Ne pricaj nista, samo cuti
ne pominji srecu, ne pominji boli
ne pricaj ovom ranjenom srcu
kako je tesko kad se voli
Pozeli zelju, ali ne reci
sakrij je negdje duboko u sebi
zivot je proklet za zaljubljene
zivot je proklet i meni i tebi
Ref.
Gledaj mi oci, tugu u njima
zele ti reci da te jos volim
ako si srecna, ostani s drugim
za ljubav necu nikad da molim
Ref.

Recorded in the mid-1960s, the track exemplifies the genre's characteristic blend of melancholic melody and poetic storytelling that resonated deeply across the former Yugoslavia.
