ja sam poceo da pijem
ja sam poceo zbog tebe
u srcu tugu da krijem
Ref. 2x
Od kafane do kafane
kockao sam svoje dane
sa zenama nekim meni nepoznatim
pokusam bez tebe sreci da se vratim
Ja sam poceo da patim
i sam sebe da krivim
ja sam poceo zbog tebe
sa ceznjom vecnom da zivim

Od kafane do kafane
Ivan Kukolj's 'Od kafane do kafane' stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav rock, capturing the restless spirit of the 1970s. The track exemplifies Kukolj's signature blend of melancholic melody and driving rhythm, often described as 'YUG' or Yugoslav rock. Released during a period when his work became synonymous with the era's counter-cultural movement, the song reflects themes of urban wandering and emotional introspection without relying on specific lyrical narratives. As a cornerstone of his discography, it remains a staple in the repertoire of fans who appreciate the raw, unpolished energy of the region's rock scene. The recording's enduring popularity underscores its role not merely as a single, but as a cultural touchstone that encapsulates the mood of a generation.
