kad probudi lude sne
suvisne su rijeci te
volim te, volim te
(2x)
Ref. 2x
Istini ti u ocima citam
dal' me volis ne treba da pitam
ko u dusi i srcu ti spava
rekla su mi sreco ta dva oka plava
Kada ljubav plamti
kad u vatri gori sve
oci same govore
volim te, volim te
(2x)
Ref. 2x
Kad se ljubav daje
i poklanja drugom sve
srce srcu sapuce
volim te, volim te

Istinu ti u ocima citam
Mile Kitić's 'Istinu ti u ocima citam' stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav rock, capturing the raw emotional intensity of the late 1960s. Recorded during a pivotal era when the genre was transitioning from folk-influenced pop to a more aggressive, electric sound, the track exemplifies Kitić's signature style of blending poetic lyricism with driving guitar riffs. The song's themes of unrequited love and existential longing resonated deeply with a generation, establishing Kitić as a central figure in the region's musical history. Its enduring popularity stems not merely from its catchy melody but from its ability to articulate complex feelings of heartbreak and disillusionment in a way that felt both personal and universal. As a cornerstone of the Yugoslav rock canon, the recording remains a powerful testament to the artistic freedom and cultural expression of the time.
