Kako starim sve te vise volim
za tebe se ko za zivot borim

Dugo moja, nema onih kisa
pa da prodjem kad se sve utisa
da ti dodjem naoruzan starim osmehom

Kako starim sve te više volim

Recorded in the late 1970s, the track exemplifies the genre's signature blend of romantic melancholy and rhythmic sophistication. Ždravković's distinctive vocal delivery transforms the song into a timeless reflection on enduring affection, where the narrator's aging process paradoxically deepens his devotion rather than diminishing it.

Its enduring popularity underscores its role as a masterpiece of regional pop history, resonating with listeners who recognize the universal truth in its portrayal of mature, steadfast love.
