Sto se mora, znam, mora se
sto je lako tebi lako je
sto je tesko meni teze je
sto je tako tako je

Lepo se obuci i odlazi
nek svi vide ko im dolazi
ne misli na nas i na kraj
budi uvek kao zmaj

Ref.
Budi lep, budi jak
za sve druge mrak
nemoj da me brukas
i da umrem ti ja
ni to nije znak
da treba da kukas

Samo napravi krug
za minut si tu
do naseg starog kraja
tu te cekaju jos
dve karte za nas
do izgubljenog raja

Da je vreme, znam, vreme je
sto je bilo uvek bilo je
sto ce biti tebi pripada
meni vise nikada

Lepo se obuci i odlazi
nek ti sve za rukom polazi
ne misli na nas i na kraj
budi uvek kao zmaj

Ref.

Zmaj

Indira Radic's "Zmaj" stands as a defining track within the Yugoslav folk revival movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s. As a solo artist, Radic helped elevate traditional Serbian and regional folk melodies into contemporary pop structures, blending acoustic instrumentation with modern production techniques. The song exemplifies the era's fascination with nostalgic themes and epic storytelling, often featuring dramatic vocal delivery and orchestral arrangements that mirrored the operatic influences of her contemporaries. While many of her peers collaborated with groups like Crvena jabuka, Radic maintained a distinct solo identity that emphasized lyrical depth and emotional resonance. "Zmaj" remains a significant recording in the catalog of Yugoslav folk music, reflecting the cultural identity and artistic experimentation of the time.
