Da te nima

Dignuti cu jidro
nek me nosi sinje more
da me vrate u te dvore
u tvoj zivot, u tvoj san

Tu su nasa dica
tu su moji dragi ljudi
tu si meni viru dala
nasu ljubav cuvala

Ja sam covik koji luta svitom
i nosim svoj kriz
ti si zena koja zna da voli
i cuva svoj mir u ljubavi

Ref.
Da te nima, kome ljubav ja bi dao
da te nima, ja za sricu ne bi znao
da te nima, di bi moje jidro bilo
da te nima, sto bi bilo

Ref. 2x

Da te nima

Mladen Grđović's "Da te nima" stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav rock, capturing the raw energy and rebellious spirit 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 the movement's characteristic blend of social commentary and musical intensity. As one of Grđović's most celebrated compositions, it reflects the broader cultural currents of the time, resonating with audiences who sought authentic expression through rock music. The song remains a cornerstone of the Yugoslav rock canon, illustrating how the genre served as a vehicle for youth identity and artistic freedom before the region's political landscape shifted dramatically in the 1980s.
