Crn je gavran, a ja crnji

bolje da se nisam ni rodio
gde god krenem, kud da podjem
nikad cilju ja ne dodjem
Ref. 2x
Crn je gavran, a ja crnji
prosao sam put najtrnji
srece nemam pa mi zao
moj zivote, sta si meni dao
Nema koga da zagrle ruke
u zivotu stalno nove muke
jednoj zeni sve sam dao
i bez nje sam ja ostao
Ref. 2x
Ja bi napred, ali nemam kuda
u dusi mi vlada bol i tuga
ti si meni, moja mila
put ka sreci preprecila
Ref. 2x

The recording captures the essence of a bygone era, characterized by its emotive delivery and the use of folk motifs that resonated deeply with audiences. As a staple in Ćolović's discography, the song reflects the broader cultural tapestry of the time, where such works often served as anthems of nostalgia and shared identity. Its enduring appeal lies in its authentic sound and the artist's ability to convey complex emotions through a simple yet powerful composition, cementing its place in the canon of classic Yugoslav music.
