Daj mi, Boze
Saban Saulic · Other Songs - Saban Saulic
da prezivim ovih noci
ovih dugih noci bez tebe
ja ne brojim vise rane
zene, pica i kafane
samo brojim dane bez tebe
Ref.
Daj mi, Boze, opet
da je sa mnom tu
od zivota pola
dacu ti za nju
Daj mi, Boze, opet
da je zagrlim
pa nek' posle toga
oci zatvorim
Ja bez tebe vreme gubim
sve sto ljubim, lazno ljubim
svakog dana sve sam blize dnu
moje misli tebi lete
ulice su moje slepe
ja bez tebe dalje ne mogu
Ref. 2x
Daj mi, Boze

Released during a period when traditional folk melodies were being reimagined with modern pop sensibilities, the track exemplifies the genre's focus on spiritual longing and romantic devotion. Saulic's distinctive vocal delivery, often described as a blend of operatic power and rustic folk authenticity, drives the song's narrative of pleading for divine and earthly grace. The composition reflects the broader cultural movement of the era, where artists sought to preserve national identity through music while embracing contemporary production techniques. As a staple of the Yugoslav folk repertoire, the recording continues to resonate with audiences who appreciate its unadulterated expression of faith and love, cementing Saulic's legacy as a pivotal figure in the genre's history.
