i kao da je bilo tu
pod velikim svetlim suncem
pod velikim svetlim svodom
Rucali smo meso
glodali smo kosti dobrih zivotinja
mi imamo snage
mi imamo snage za jos dan
Ref. 2x
Mi menjamo dan za noc
mi menjamo noc za dan
Prolaze brodovi
trube u cast zvone na uzbunu
deca uce da placu
deca uce da poznaju svoj glas
U toplim jaslama
u hladu bora
pod zidom cempresa
mi menjamo nasu noc
za neki tudji dan
za neki tudji dan
Ref. 6x

Kao da je bilo nekad
Ekatarina Velika's 'Kao da je bilo nekad' stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav rock, capturing the melancholic nostalgia and political tension of the 1980s. The track exemplifies the band's signature blend of hard rock and poetic lyricism, often addressing the complexities of life under socialism and the longing for a simpler past. Released during a period of intense cultural ferment, the song resonated deeply with audiences across the former Yugoslavia, becoming a staple of live performances and a symbol of a generation's shared experience. Its enduring popularity highlights the band's ability to craft music that transcends specific political boundaries while remaining firmly rooted in the regional sound of the era.
