opasno svirali
vjetar je nosio
miris vina i dima
A lijepe ciganke kose su rasplele
kako su ludo igrale
a vrhom planine mjesec se sunjao
cergu je opet nasao
Ref.
A mjesec usred mahale
popio s njima casu tuge
obasja lijepe ciganke
i stare cigane svirace
A mjesec usred mahale
popio s njima casu tuge
obasja lijepe ciganke
i stare cigane svirace
A stare tambure
ludo su svirale
A lijepe ciganke kose su rasplele
kako su ludo igrale
a vrhom planine mjesec se sunjao
cergu je opet nasao
Ref.
A mjesec usred mahale
popio s njima casu tuge
obasja lijepe ciganke
i stare cigane svirace
Lijepe ciganke
Halid Beslic's 'Lijepe ciganke' stands as a definitive anthem of Yugoslav pop music, blending traditional Romani themes with sophisticated orchestral arrangements. Recorded in the late 1970s, the track exemplifies Beslic's mastery of the duet format, often performed alongside his wife Ljiljana Beslic. The song captures the romanticized image of the Romani people, a recurring motif in the region's cultural identity during the era of Yugoslavia. Its enduring popularity stems from its melodic structure and emotional depth, making it a staple in both live performances and studio recordings. As a cornerstone of the genre, the piece reflects the cross-cultural influences prevalent in the former Yugoslavia, cementing Beslic's legacy as a leading figure in the region's musical history.
