Navik'o sam ja na nocni zivot
danju spavam, a ludujem nocu
od mene je i Bog dig'o ruke
bas me briga, zivim kako hocu

Svi se cude sto ovako zivim
sto vec jednom zivot ne promenim
a meni je bas ovako lepo
ja jedino nocni zivot cenim

Ref.

Pitaju me dokle cu ovako
zar mi nije dosadilo sve
a meni je bas ovako lepo
mladost daje, starost rusi sve

Navik'o sam ja na nocni zivot

Toma Zdravkovic's "Navik'o sam ja na nocni zivot" stands as a defining track within the Yugoslav folk revival movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The song exemplifies the genre's characteristic blend of traditional Serbian folk melodies with modern pop arrangements, a style that Zdravkovic helped popularize across the region. Often associated with the broader "Yug" sound, the recording captures the melancholic yet rhythmic energy typical of the era's male vocalists. While specific album placements vary in historical records, the track remains a staple of his discography, frequently appearing in compilations that highlight his contribution to post-war Balkan music. Its enduring popularity stems from its authentic delivery and the nostalgic atmosphere it evokes for listeners familiar with the cultural landscape of the time.
