ti si samo crna bila
moju ljubav i postenje
nicim nisi zasluzila
Ref.
Bela ruzo, zasto crna postala si
kad kraj mene
sve sto zelis imala si
za noc jednu srusila si
Ziveo sam slusajuci
na grudima dok mi dises
kako mozes posle mene
da drugom cvetas i mirises
Ref.
Bela ruzo

As a staple of his discography, the track exemplifies the fusion of traditional folk melodies with electric rock instrumentation that became his signature. The song resonates deeply within the cultural memory of the former Yugoslavia, often associated with the era's vibrant underground scene and its distinct musical identity. Beyond its immediate popularity, 'Bela ruzo' remains a testament to Bajic's ability to craft emotionally charged recordings that transcend specific political boundaries, influencing subsequent generations of Balkan musicians who sought to blend local heritage with modern rock sensibilities. Its enduring presence in live performances and compilations underscores its status as a classic within the genre.
