Idi dok si mlada

Ne treba ti niko kada nemas sutra
besane ti noci, a dani bez jutra
da li mirno spavas ti sto sve mi srusi
ti koja ces mnoge nositi na dusi

Ref. 2x
Idi dok si mlada
ostavi me sada
idi trazi sebi bolje
siroko ti polje

Ne treba ti niko zato nikog nemas
ti ne sanjas snove, ti za tugu ne znas
da li mirno spavas ti sto sve mi uze
ti sto si me lako slomila na suze

Lacković's distinctive vocal delivery and the song's driving rhythm became central to the identity of the Yugoslav rock scene, influencing generations of musicians who followed. As a staple of the era's live performances and radio airwaves, the recording transcended its origins to become a cultural touchstone, symbolizing the freedom and optimism of a generation navigating rapid social change. Its enduring popularity reflects the song's ability to resonate with listeners across decades, cementing its place in the collective memory of the region's musical history.
