Bolero · Other Songs - Bolero

Konjuh planinom, vjetar sumi, bruji
lisce pjeva zalovite pjesme
borovi i jele, javori i breze
svijaju se jedno do drugoga

Noc je svu sumu u crno zavila
Konjuh stenje, rusi se kamenje
mrtvoga drugara, husinskog rudara
sahranjuje ceta partizana

A na vrh planine
zastava se vije
crvena od krvi
proletera

Konjuh planinom

Bolero's 1969 single "Konjuh planinom" stands as a defining work of Yugoslav folk rock, blending traditional mountain melodies with electric instrumentation. Released during the height of the genre's popularity in the late 1960s, the track captures the rugged spirit of the Balkan highlands through its distinctive vocal delivery and rhythmic drive. As one of Bolero's most celebrated recordings, it exemplifies the era's fusion of indigenous folk traditions with modern rock structures, cementing the artist's legacy as a master of the form. The song remains a staple of the Yugoslav folk rock canon, widely recognized for its evocative portrayal of the mountain landscape and its enduring appeal across generations of listeners.
