Most do moga zavicaja

Skupili se svi jarani
oko mene i postelje
pitaju me u tudjini
koje su mi srcu zelje

Ref.
Necu lijeka ni ljekare
zovite mi neimare
sazidajte most bez kraja
most do moga zavicaja

Ponude mu svi donose
nude razne djakonije
jedna casa hladne vode
s vrela Bosne, hej, da mi je

Ref.

Priviju mi hladan oblog
da me boljka brze mine
ah, da mi je pregrst snijega
sa planine Jahorine

Ref.

Most do moga zavicaja

Nedeljko Bilić's 'Most do moga zavicaja' stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav folk music, capturing the nostalgic longing for a homeland that existed only in memory. Recorded in the late 1960s, the track exemplifies the genre's characteristic blend of traditional melodies and poetic storytelling, often reflecting on themes of lost villages and the passage of time. Bilić's distinctive vocal style and the song's enduring popularity cemented its status as a cultural touchstone across the former Yugoslavia. The recording remains a staple of the era's folk repertoire, illustrating how regional folk traditions were synthesized into a broader national identity during the mid-20th century. Its lyrical focus on the emotional weight of displacement and the idealized past continues to resonate with audiences who appreciate the raw, unadorned beauty of authentic folk expression.
