Ej dragi, dragi (bozurove sadi)

Cakana · Other Songs - Cakana

Usnila je dubok sanak
sa Kosova Rada
pa se svome milom, dragom
u narucju jada

Ref.
Ej, dragi, dragi bozurove sadi
ja cu vodu, a ti koren
nek' izniknu mladi

Vidis dragi, sirom polja
bozurova nema
samo kamen, ljuto trnje
pod oblakom drema

Ref.

Da procveta ravno polje
oko manastira
i da pastir podno brda
u frulu zasvira

Ref.

Ej dragi, dragi (bozurove sadi)

The track exemplifies the genre's characteristic fusion of rustic vocal delivery and polished production, capturing the emotional core of rural life and romantic longing. As a staple in Cakana's discography, the song reflects the era's broader musical landscape where folk roots were reimagined for modern audiences. Its enduring appeal lies in its authentic storytelling and the timeless quality of its composition, making it a significant work within the regional canon of folk music.
