Otkud ti u ovo doba

da sam najzad nasla mira
ali proslost kao senka
jos me muci, jos me dira
Ref.
Otkud ti u ovo doba
da u moje misli svratis
da me mucis, da me pratis
da me pratis sve do groba
otkud, otkud ti u ovo doba
Mislila sam da sam davno
prebolela rane svoje
ali oci pune bola
prozori su duse moje
Ref.
Ostavi me da se smirim
to je zadnje sto te molim
mirne dane da prozivim
da se smejem i da volim
Ref.
Otkud ti u ovo doba
Lepa Brena's iconic 1967 hit 'Otkud ti u ovo doba' stands as a cornerstone of Yugoslav folk-pop, blending traditional folk melodies with modern pop arrangements. The song's enduring appeal lies in its poignant lyrics, which explore themes of lost love and the passage of time, delivered with her signature clear, emotive vocal style. Released during the height of the Belgrade Folk Festival era, the recording exemplifies the genre's ability to merge rustic authenticity with contemporary production techniques. As one of her most celebrated works, it remains a staple in the regional repertoire, often performed at weddings and celebrations, cementing Brena's legacy as a defining voice of the region's musical history.
