Sad placi ako, ako

uvelo je tvoje lice
da nema ni traga
od one lepotice
Kazu da je suza
tvoje oci zakitila
da se kajes
sto si me ostavila
(2x)
Ref.
Sad placi ako, ako
jer i ja sam nekad plak'o
kao sebe voleo te
da ne ides molio te
Nije da se sada svetim
al' kada se svega setim
vidim da si bila to
sto mi nikad nije trebalo
Cujem ove dane
da provodis tuzna, sama
i da ljubav tebi
nije vise jaca strana
Kazu da si volju
za zivotom izgubila
da se kajes
sto si me ostavila
(2x)

Zdravković's distinctive vocal delivery transforms the song into a universal expression of heartbreak, resonating deeply with audiences across the former Yugoslavia. As one of his most celebrated recordings, it remains a staple of the region's musical heritage, illustrating how his work bridged traditional folk sensibilities with modern pop structures. The song's enduring appeal lies in its ability to articulate complex feelings of longing and sorrow without relying on explicit narrative, allowing listeners to project their own experiences onto the melody.
