Skalinada
Oliver Dragojevic · Other Songs - Oliver Dragojevic
noc je 'ladna zvizda tvoja
sjaja nima
na sto vrata ja san kuca
tople rici, mrvu srca
nigdi nima
Pismo mala reci svima
moj je zivot pusta stina
mira nima
miljun pasi ja san prosa
sad se pitan di san dosa
srice nima
Ref.
Skalinada, skalinada
tu se penje, tu se pada
to je sudba, to je nada
skalinada
skalinada, skalinada
svaki korak, jedna skala
svaka skala, jedna nada
skalinada

Sudbo moja 'ol ne vidis
na toj stazi di me vodis
sunca nima
u djardinu od zivota
jos mi samo pisma osta
cvica nima
Kad zajeca mandolina
sve cu skoncat cason vina
nek me nima
kraj fontane sklopit oci
ona tudju sricu toci
moje nima

Oliver Dragojević's 'Skalinada' stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav rock, capturing the raw energy and social consciousness of the 1970s. Released during a period of intense political tension in the former Yugoslavia, the track exemplifies the genre's fusion of traditional folk melodies with electric rock instrumentation. Dragojević's distinctive vocal style and lyrical focus on the struggles of the working class and the desire for freedom made this recording a cultural touchstone. The song remains a powerful representation of the era's spirit, influencing generations of Balkan musicians who sought to express dissent and identity through their music. Its enduring popularity highlights its role not merely as a hit, but as a historical document of the region's complex musical and political landscape.
