Pjesma za prijatelja
Ivica Percl · Other Songs - Ivica Percl
godina smo jedni bili
bez pozdrava, stiska i smjeska
mi jadni ostali smo zivi
Kako je lijepo mastati bilo
koliko je toplo majcino krilo
zauvijek nesta masta i toplina
osta samo majka bez ijednog sina
Od zivota covjek nista nema
sudbina nas bira, salje i pazi
u tajnosti smislja, osvetu nam sprema
i najjaca zelja slaba je to iz sna
Prijatelju dragi nemoj biti tuzan
znam da kod tebe carstvo mi raspali
kod nas je po starom zivot nam je ruzan
sramno s osmjehom na licu jedan drugog davi
Prijatelj nas napusta sada
godina smo jedni bili
bez pozdrava, stiska i smjeska
mi jadni ostali smo zivi

The track exemplifies the era's signature blend of acoustic guitar, light percussion, and vocal delivery that defined the region's popular sound during the mid-century. As one of Percl's most recognized compositions, the song reflects the optimistic yet introspective mood prevalent in post-war Balkan culture. Its enduring appeal lies in its universal themes of friendship and shared experience, delivered with a warmth that has made it a staple in regional collections. The recording captures the specific sonic texture of the time, utilizing basic instrumentation to create a memorable and timeless atmosphere that resonates with listeners across generations.
