Kriva sam
Ivana Sasic · Other Songs - Ivana Sasic
slutim da ti nisam jedina
cutim svoju tugu
cutim tajnu svoga nemira
Bez milosti, bez kajanja
ti kidas me gde sam najtanja
Ref.
Mozda sam kriva
slepo sto ti verujem
za tobom luda
ne vidim i ne cujem
a svi znaju da si
opet s njom
Mozda sam gresna
grehe sto ti oprastam
i mozda smesna ja
pred svima ispadam
kada suze mi
krenu za tobom
Trazim malo srece
trazim samo malo neznosti
sve sam tebi dala
sve sam pokusala veruj mi

Kriva sam
Ivana Šašić's 1988 hit 'Kriva sam' stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav pop, capturing the raw emotional turbulence of the late socialist era. Released during a period of intense cultural ferment, the track blends traditional folk instrumentation with modern pop sensibilities to create a sound that resonated deeply across the former Yugoslavia. The song's narrative explores themes of regret and self-blame, delivered with Šašić's distinctive, powerful vocal style that became her signature. As one of her most celebrated recordings, 'Kriva sam' transcended its regional origins to become a staple of Balkan music history, influencing countless subsequent artists who sought to emulate its blend of melancholy and melodic strength. Its enduring popularity underscores its role not merely as a commercial success but as a cultural touchstone reflecting the collective mood of its time.
