Bez tebe

Oliver Dragojevic · Other Songs - Oliver Dragojevic

Bio sam korak od dna
a ti si ruku pruzila
bio sam na kisi sam
ti vrata si otvorila

Bila si nekako sva
za mene nestvarna
bila si zena
sto zna, da ljubav da

Ref.
Bez tebe, nestat' ce Sunca
druge cu prositi, za malo ljubavi
bez tebe, jedina moja
za kog' cu zivjeti, za koga umrijeti

Bilo je noci bez sna
a ti bi me uspavala
moj svaki znala si grijeh
al' opet bi me ljubila

Bio sam ponekad grub
ti sve bi prastala
bila si zena sto zna
da osjeca

Ref. 2x

Bez tebe

Oliver Dragojević's 'Bez tebe' stands as a cornerstone of Yugoslav folk music, embodying the raw emotional depth characteristic of his solo career. Recorded in the late 1980s, the track exemplifies the genre's fusion of traditional folk melodies with contemporary pop sensibilities. As a solo artist, Dragojević often explored themes of longing and heartbreak, and this recording captures that essence with its haunting vocal delivery and atmospheric instrumentation. The song remains a significant piece in the broader context of Yugoslav music history, reflecting the cultural and musical identity of the region during its final decades before the breakup of Yugoslavia. Its enduring popularity speaks to its universal appeal and the timeless nature of its lyrical content.
