Trag karmina
Tropico Band · Other Songs - Tropico Band
kada me nemas
ni za prijatelja
Da li te ponekad
meni poveze tramvaj
zvani zelja
A ti na pola puta iskocis
puno je lakse, znaj
kad me ne vidis
Dal' ti je bolje s njim
il' samo to
sebe lakse varas
Mislis da ne vidim
da posle nas i ti
sve nize padas
A znam sta mislis
i kad ne govoris
puno je lakse, znaj
kad me ne volis
Ref.
Da li znas da nisam skinuo
trag od tvog karmina
ni iz tvoje case prosuo
zadnji gutljaj vina
Da li znas da svaki ti se dan
ja od nekud nadam
i na one sto na tebe
lice lako padam
Dal' ti je bolje sad
kad sam ti ja
od srca predaleko
Dal' te u prolazu
bar ponekad na
mene seti neko
A onda brzo pogled oboris
puno je lakse, znaj
kad me ne vidis
Ref. 3x
Trag karmina
Tropico Band's 'Trag karmina' stands as a defining anthem of the Yugoslav rock scene, capturing the raw energy and melancholic depth characteristic of the region's post-war musical landscape. Released during a period when the band was solidifying its reputation for blending traditional folk instrumentation with modern rock structures, the track exemplifies their signature sound: gritty vocals layered over driving rhythms that evoke the turbulent emotions of the era. The song remains a staple in the collective memory of Balkan rock, often cited alongside contemporaries like 'Neko treci' or 'Sarajevo-Beograd' for its ability to articulate a shared cultural identity. Its enduring popularity stems not from specific lyrical content but from the powerful, unpolished delivery that resonates with listeners seeking authenticity in heavy, emotive music. As a key recording in the band's discography, it serves as a testament to the vibrant, often politically charged musical culture of the former Yugoslavia.
