Kad bulbuli pjevaju

takav cvijet jos nije rastao
a mene dugo bilo nije
Kad behar bijeli pada na nas grad
dali sama seta jos i sad
a mene dugo bilo nije
Ref. 2x
Ostavimo sve, srce moje, idemo do nje
srce moje, ostavimo sve
da stignemo u maju
kad bulbuli pjevaju
Sanjao sam kako mi je ruku dala
a drugom je moju kosu milovala
mirise ko zumbul-cvijece u proljece
Od kako je stari Travnik nastao
takav cvijet jos nije rastao
a mene dugo bilo nije
Ref. 2x
Sanjao sam kako mi je ruku dala
a drugom je moju kosu milovala
mirise ko zumbul-cvijece u proljece
K'o sanjam je kako mi donosi
kap rose na usnama
zubor potoka na grudima
mrvu meda pod grlom
i komad vruce pogace u marami
k'o sanjam je a strah me je
a strah me je da se ne probudim
Ref. 2x
Kad bulbuli pjevaju
Vajta's 'Kad bulbuli pjevaju' stands as a quintessential example of Yugoslav folk-pop, blending traditional acoustic instrumentation with melodic sensibilities that defined the region's musical landscape in the 1970s and 1980s. The track exemplifies the era's characteristic fusion of folk motifs and pop structures, often featuring vocal harmonies and acoustic guitar work that evoked the pastoral imagery of the Balkans. As a staple of the artist's discography, the song reflects the broader cultural movement that sought to preserve and modernize folk traditions through accessible pop arrangements. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to capture the nostalgic atmosphere of a specific time and place, resonating with audiences who appreciate the authentic sound of regional folk music integrated into mainstream recordings.
