Idi, druze, svome rodnom kraju

video sam tvog oca i majku
da ti kazem da se kuci vratis
molise me oni na rastanku
Ref.
Idi, druze, svome rodnom kraju
svi se tebi kod kuce nadaju
majka stara hoce da te zeni
treba snaja da je vec odmjeni
Majka ti je poruku poslala
nemocna je, bolesna i stara
idi majci da joj sunce grane
usreci je bar u stare dane
Ref.
Sestra ti je stigla za udaju
svaki momak u selu je zeli
al ona udati se nece
hoce prvo da ozeni tebe
Ref.

It reflects the broader tradition of folk ballads that preserved local dialects and customs, serving as both entertainment and a vessel for collective memory. The track remains a powerful representation of the era's musical landscape, celebrated for its authenticity and enduring appeal among listeners who appreciate the raw, unpolished beauty of traditional folk expression.
