Dvije zemlje

Esad Plavi · Other Songs - Esad Plavi

Hej, jarani, tako slatko
ostao bih s vama
a put zove, moram poci
evo bijela dana

Jedna zena uplakana
nece ni da svrati
sto je nema da mi dodje
bar da me isprati

Jedna zena uplakana
nece ni da svrati
zovite je, neka dodje
bar da me isprati

Ref. 2x
Tamo zivim, a srce mi ovdje
ostalo je tu, sa vama svima
dva zivota, u jednome zivim
ja sam covjek sto dvije zemlje ima

Hej, jarani, pjesma ova
krije kol'ko patim
na put krecem, al' vec mislim
kad cu da se vratim

Ref. 4x

Dvije zemlje

Esad Plavi's "Dvije zemlje" stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav rock, capturing the complex national identity of the region during the 1980s. The song's title translates to "Two Countries," reflecting the deep cultural and political tensions that would eventually fracture the federation. Plavi's distinctive vocal style and the track's driving rhythm became central to the genre's evolution, influencing countless subsequent acts across the Balkans. Released during a period of rising ethnic consciousness, the recording resonated deeply with audiences, becoming a symbol of both unity and impending division. Its enduring popularity ensures it remains a staple in the region's musical heritage, frequently covered and referenced in discussions of post-war cultural memory.
