Na ivici ponora

raskid s tobom danak uzima
jos samo na slikama postojim
cak ni u odrazu ogledala
(2x)
I sve tako dan za danom vrtim se u krug
iz tog lavirinta tuge nemam izlaza
bolje da sam gas do daske pritisnuo ja
pre nego sto stadoh na ivicu ponora
Ref.
Svaka prazna casa nadje put do moje glave
i lazem kad kazem boli kad se razbija
dal' to tvoje cini moju tragediju slave
il' to kusur od ljubavi mene ubija
svaka prazna casa nadje put do moje vene
a ni nebo a i zemlju gresnom okrene
sta sve covek spreman je da ucini
zbog zene, kad ga ljubav pokrene
Srce zadnjim dahom nocas dise
svakom putu nade vec je kraj
svaki trag o nama tu se brise
al' meni ranu ostavlja
Ref.
Na ivici ponora
Sako Polumenta's "Na ivici ponora" stands as a defining track in the Yugoslav folk revival of the 1970s, blending traditional acoustic instrumentation with a raw, emotive vocal delivery. The song captures the melancholic essence of rural life and the hardships of the countryside, themes central to the genre's narrative tradition. Released during a period when artists like Polumenta helped reinvigorate folk music with modern sensibilities, the recording showcases his distinctive ability to weave storytelling into his performances. While often associated with the broader Yugoslav folk canon, the track remains a staple of his discography, reflecting the cultural identity and social realities of the era through its haunting melody and poetic lyrics. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of folk music to document the human experience.
