Rodi me, majko, sretnog
pjesmu da zapjevam

Moje je srce veliko k'o kuca
sto da budem vjecno zrtva ljubavi
zasto da ruza u dusi vene
da ne zivi

Ref. 2x
Rodi me, majko, sretnog
pjesmu da zapjevam
rodi, kad srece nemam
tugu da opjevam

Rodi me, majko, sretnog

Zdravko Čolić's 'Rodi me, majko, sretnog' stands as a quintessential example of Yugoslav folk-pop, blending traditional acoustic instrumentation with the singer's distinctive baritone voice. Recorded during the height of his international fame in the late 1970s, the track exemplifies the genre's characteristic fusion of Serbian folk melodies and pop sensibilities. The song's enduring appeal lies in its emotional depth and the artist's mastery of vocal delivery, which became a defining trait of his discography. As a staple of Čolić's catalog, it reflects the cultural identity of the former Yugoslavia and remains a beloved staple in regional folk music, celebrated for its timeless quality and the artist's unique contribution to the genre's evolution.
