zato sto si mlada
srecu neces naci
kraj mene nikada
(2x)
Ref. 2x
Srce mi je kockar stari
kad poljubi tad prevari
i onda kad voli te
ne otvara karte sve
Drugo cu ti reci
ostavi il' ljubi
jer ljubav je igra
uvijek neko gubi
(2x)
Ref. 2x
I na kraju ipak
ti ces moja biti
jer srce k'o kockar
mora izgubiti
(2x)
Ref. 2x
Srce mi je kockar
Kadir Nukic's "Srce mi je kockar" stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav folk music, capturing the raw emotional turbulence of post-war Balkan life. Recorded in the mid-1980s, the track exemplifies the genre's characteristic blend of traditional instrumentation and modern vocal delivery, often featuring dramatic falsetto runs that convey deep longing and heartbreak. As a staple of the era's radio airwaves and club culture, the song resonated with audiences across the former Yugoslavia, becoming a cultural touchstone for generations. Its enduring popularity stems from its ability to articulate universal themes of lost love and resilience, cementing Nukic's legacy as a pivotal figure in the region's musical history.
