Aco Braco
Djordje Balasevic · Other Songs - Djordje Balasevic
ti i ja smo drzava u drzavi
pukose na vrazjoj burzi
Franjo Josip i Habzburzi
Boljsevici cara skefali
otis'o na dobos Kajzer ko poslednji salabajzer
samo nama nista ne fali
Aco-Braco, derane moj stasiti
kad si vatra svi te 'oce gasiti
vracaju nam i zavide
al' to valjda tako ide
samo lepo mozes ruziti
neg', ogrni jankel stofan
suste suknje ko celofan
zavist valja i zasluziti
Malo mame, malo cerke
opajdare, kaciperke, kibicuju i zagledaju
siparice, gradske smizle, porumene ko ribizle
kad sa nama pripovedaju
ne bije nas dzabe glas
zadeni za sesir klas
i mater vetru dok je nama nas
Aco-Braco, derane moj srditi
da te grdim to mi je ko sebe grditi
to il' nemas ili imas
da te s vrata spazi primas
gust je dati, a ne stiskati
nije gazda kesa suplja
sto budzasto novce skuplja
gazda je ko ume spiskati
Aco-Braco, derane moj cestiti
Bog nek gleda di ce koga smestiti
od Bodjana do Opova
sila hulja i lopova
koji grabe sta odaberu
od Opova do Bodjana
jos je dobrih Vojvodjana
da im s neba 'leba naberu
Aco Braco
Djordje Balasevic's "Aco Braco" stands as a quintessential example of Yugoslav folk-pop, blending traditional acoustic instrumentation with the melodic sensibilities of the 1980s. The track exemplifies the genre's characteristic fusion of Serbian and regional folk motifs with contemporary pop structures, creating a sound that resonated deeply within the Balkan cultural landscape. As a solo recording, it highlights Balasevic's vocal delivery and songwriting, which often drew upon themes of nostalgia and everyday life. The piece remains a significant song in his discography, reflecting the era's musical identity where folk roots were seamlessly integrated into mainstream pop production. Its enduring appeal lies in its authentic atmosphere and the timeless quality of its composition.
