Tvoje oci zive

stao nam na put
tad bi moje srce meko
rasulo se svud'
Da, to moja zvezda sija
sija kao grad
znam, da bi bez tebe
umrla do sad
Ref.
Oci tvoje zive, zive
zive kao ikona
ti si cuvar mojih snova
ti si moja sudbina
oci tvoje zive, zive
i dok nas kilometrima
dele obale daljine
moj je dom nostalgija
Oci tvoje zive, zive
i dok nas kilometrima
dele obale daljine
moj je dom nostalgija
I u ponoc kada tiho
legnes na moj dlan
noc sa tobom nikad ne bih
menjao za dan
Ref. 2x
Tvoje oci zive
Denis & Obule's 'Tvoje oci zive' stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav folk rock, capturing the raw emotional landscape of post-war Balkan identity. Recorded during the height of the genre's popularity in the 1980s, the track blends traditional folk melodies with electric instrumentation to create a sound that resonated deeply across the region. The song's enduring legacy lies in its ability to articulate collective nostalgia and the complexities of family history, themes that remain central to the artist's discography. As a staple of the era's live performances and radio airwaves, the recording helped cement Denis & Obule's status as pioneers who successfully modernized folk traditions while preserving their cultural roots. Its influence extends beyond its original release, continuing to inspire new generations of musicians in the Balkans who seek to honor their heritage through a fusion of old and new sounds.
