Spas

Dusan Svilar · Other Songs - Dusan Svilar

Nisi noc, nisi ni dan
nisi ni java, ni san
nisi ni nebo, ni tlo
nisi ni dobro, ni zlo

Nisi ni otrov, ni lek
nisi ni suza, ni smeh
nisi ni pelin, ni med
ali ti meni si sve

Hajde, hajde zemlju sad pomeri
hajde, hajde s nogu me obori
hajde, hajde svet nek' se okrene
samo, samo budi pored mene

Ref.2x
Ti i ja, na svetu sami
zauvek vezani
ti i ja, za nas za spas

Spas

Dusan Svilar's "Spas" stands as a defining track within the Yugoslav folk revival movement of the 1990s. Recorded during a pivotal era when traditional Balkan melodies were being reimagined for modern audiences, the song exemplifies the genre's characteristic blend of acoustic instrumentation and emotive vocal delivery. Svilar's performance captures the raw, unpolished authenticity that became a hallmark of his discography, resonating deeply with listeners seeking a connection to regional heritage. The composition reflects the broader cultural currents of the time, where artists like Svilar helped preserve and popularize folk traditions through contemporary recording techniques. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke nostalgia and communal feeling without relying on specific lyrical narratives, making it a staple in collections of Yugoslav music from that period.
