sta je ljubav nisam znao
sta je ljubav sada znam
svatio sam ali kasno
ostao sam sam

kako boli kad se voli
nisam znao sada znam
svatio sam ali kasno
ostao sam sam

sta je sreca, sta nesreca
nisam znao sada znam
svatio sam ali kasno
ostao sam sam

Ostao sam sam

Milos Bojanic's "Ostao sam sam" stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav rock, capturing the raw energy and melancholic introspection of the late 1980s. Released during a pivotal era when the genre was evolving from traditional folk-rock into a more aggressive, electric sound, the track exemplifies Bojanic's signature style: a blend of powerful vocals, driving guitar riffs, and lyrics that resonated deeply with a generation grappling with political and social upheaval. As a staple of the Yugoslav rock canon, the song remains a testament to the region's musical identity, often cited alongside contemporaries like Bora Đorđević and Zdravko Šoljanac for its emotional intensity and enduring popularity. Its inclusion in countless live sets and compilations underscores its status as a cultural touchstone that transcends borders, cementing Bojanic's legacy as a pivotal figure in the history of Balkan music.
