Mlad sam bio
Kemal Malovcic · Other Songs - Kemal Malovcic
dok jos nisam znao sta je sreca
zivot mi je poklonio tebe
prvu ljubav za zivotnog druga
Ref. 2x
Mlad sam bio nisam znao
godine mi sad otkrise
da mladost i ljubav pravu
jednom imas i nikad vise
U mladosti to mi malo bjese
od zivota mnogo sam zelio
lutao sam godine su prosle
takvu zenu nikad nisam sreo
Ref. 2x
I moji mene pitaju za tebe
sta je s tobom zasto te nema
a ja cutim od istine bjezim
jer si davno ti udata zena
Ref. 2x
Mlad sam bio
Kemal Malović's 'Mlad sam bio' stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav rock, capturing the restless spirit of the 1960s. Released during the height of the country's musical golden age, the track exemplifies the genre's fusion of traditional folk melodies with electric rock instrumentation. The song's narrative reflects a universal coming-of-age experience, resonating deeply with a generation that viewed youth as a time of boundless possibility and social upheaval. As one of Malović's most celebrated works, it remains a staple in the repertoire of Balkan rock, influencing countless subsequent artists who sought to blend regional identity with international rock sensibilities. Its enduring popularity underscores its role not merely as a hit single, but as a cultural touchstone that encapsulates the optimism and turbulence of a transformative era in history.
