lazno mi se smejes
krivo mi je to
o zar ces tugo opet
mene da odvedes
na pustu ostrvo

Ref. 2x
Hiljadu puta si moje
srce slomio
hiljadu puta za oprostaj
mene molio
Hiljadu nacina imam
da zivim sa tim
al' nacicu jedan
da te prebolim
Zagrli me nocas
pa nemoj nikad vise
vratit' ce ti Bog
sto suze po mom' licu
padaju ko kise
iz oka nebeskog
(2x)

Hiljadu puta
Jana's 1992 hit "Hiljadu puta" stands as a defining anthem of the Yugoslav breakup era, capturing the raw emotional turbulence of a nation fracturing under political pressure. Released during the height of the Yugoslav Wars, the track blends traditional folk instrumentation with modern pop sensibilities to create a sound that resonated deeply across the region. The song's narrative of repeated heartbreak mirrors the collective trauma and displacement experienced by citizens as their country dissolved into conflict. As one of Jana's most celebrated recordings, it remains a staple of the former Yugoslavia's musical heritage, symbolizing both personal sorrow and national identity. Its enduring popularity underscores its ability to transcend specific political boundaries, serving as a timeless expression of longing and resilience.
