Gospojice, lipo dite

Sad se tiskas u toj sobi
s materon i troje brace
pusti sve to, zaudobi
sve ca nimas vrime dat ce

Jos si mlada i nevojna
ma je to za kratko vrime
a vec pisma milopojna
spominje tvoj stas i ime

Gospojice, lipo dite
nek te stignu nase rici
u te zore ca te kite
nek ti poju mladi tici

I nek blagi san umiva
tvoje oci, tvoje lice
nek od srice sve zapiva
lipo dite, gospojice

Oli ne znas i ne vidis
iza ventula i skura
dok pocivas i dok sidis
da dohodi tvoja ura

A u kali klapa piva
nike teple, stare kante
pa se blagost noci sliva
u te pisme ca se pante

Gospojice, lipo dite
ca te san od svita ote,
u tvon srcu sad su skrite
sve jubavi, sve lipote

Noc nek svitli i nek tece
po kusinu i niz lice
ruvinat ga nista nece
lipo dite, gospojice

Gospojice, lipo dite

Oliver Dragojević's 'Gospojice, lipo dite' stands as a quintessential example of Yugoslav folk music, blending traditional rural melodies with the distinctive vocal style of the artist. Recorded during the height of his career in the 1970s, the track exemplifies the genre's characteristic use of accordion and acoustic guitar to evoke the landscapes and emotions of the Balkan countryside. As one of Dragojević's most celebrated recordings, the song captures the raw, unpolished authenticity that defined his discography and cemented his status as a cultural icon in the region. The piece remains a powerful testament to the enduring legacy of folk traditions in post-war Yugoslavia, resonating with listeners through its simple yet profound musical narrative.
