kao kad si sa mnom bila
da li jos uvijek slusas pjesmu
koju sam ti pjevao ja

Kad bi mog'o, kad bi mog'o
al' ne mogu
da ti ljubim usne rumene
najsrecniji, najsrecniji ja bih bio
covjek, covjek koji te gubi
Da li jos uvijek nosis bluzu
koju sam ti kupio ja
da li jos uvijek nosis suknju
koju sam volio ja

Kad bi mogo, al' ne mogu
Kemal Malović's 'Kad bi mogo, al' ne mogu' stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav folk music, capturing the melancholic essence of the region's post-war cultural landscape. The track exemplifies the genre's characteristic blend of traditional instrumentation and emotive vocal delivery, often associated with the 'YUG' classification of the era. As a staple of his discography, the song reflects the broader musical identity of the former Yugoslavia, resonating with themes of longing and resilience that permeate the region's folk tradition. Its enduring popularity underscores its role not merely as a recording, but as a cultural touchstone that continues to influence subsequent generations of folk artists across the Balkans.
