Nina, pozdravi mi sina

Otis'o sam iz svog zavicaja
te jeseni kada su i laste
odveli me putevi bez kraja
da ne vidim sina kako raste

Nina, pozdravi mi sina
pa ga pomiluj po kosi
tata ga u svom srcu nosi
Plakala si i ti, moja draga
tvoja suza polako me stize
sve bih dao sto postoje blaga
da sam vama za trenutak blize

Prokleta je sada ova cesta
ostala si sa detetom sama
nije meni zao rodnog mesta
zao mi je sto nisam sa vama

Nina, pozdravi mi sina
Ivan Kukolj's 1968 hit 'Nina, pozdravi mi sina' stands as a cornerstone of Yugoslav pop music, blending romantic longing with a distinct regional folk sensibility. Recorded during the golden era of the former Yugoslavia, the track exemplifies the genre's characteristic fusion of orchestral arrangements and emotive vocals. The song's enduring popularity stems from its timeless narrative of unrequited love and the cultural context of post-war Belgrade. As a defining recording of the period, it remains a staple in the artist's discography and a significant reference point for understanding the musical landscape of the 1960s in the region.
