Ostala si sa mnom, jedina
jos u mene ludo zaljubljena
ostala si samo ti
na brodu sto ce potonuti

Ref. 2x
Okrecem se, sve je samo tuga
nemam brata, a nemam ni druga
ostala si samo ti
svijetlost moje proslosti

Vjerovala kad bi' lagao
tjesila me kad bi' gubio
ostala si samo ti
na brodu sto ce potonuti

Ref. 2x

Ne mogu bez tebe, jedina
teska mi je ova sudbina
ostala si samo ti
na brodu sto ce potonuti

Ref. 2x

Ostala si samo ti

Kemal Malović's 'Ostala si samo ti' stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav pop music, capturing the emotional resonance of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The track exemplifies the era's signature blend of romantic melancholy and melodic sophistication, characterized by its soaring vocals and lush orchestral arrangements. As one of Malović's most celebrated works, the song transcended regional boundaries to become a cultural touchstone across the former Yugoslavia. Its enduring popularity stems from its ability to articulate universal themes of longing and nostalgia, cementing Malović's legacy as a pivotal figure in the region's musical history. The recording remains a staple of the genre, frequently referenced in discussions regarding the evolution of Balkan pop and the specific sonic palette that defined the country's golden age.
