Ti si bila uvijek bila
Zdravko Colic · Other Songs - Zdravko Colic
surove noci po meni biju
misao svaka ka tebi leti
grijesio jesam, jesam, jesam
i to mi se sveti
Jer poslije svega oprostaj molim
jos uvijek duso mnogo te volim
Umoran stizem pred vrata tvoja
dali jos tu si i dali si moja
ljudi su srecni, zavidim njima
vjerujem ipak, ipak, ipak
jos nade ima
Jer poslije svega oprostaj molim
jos uvijek duso mnogo te volim
Ref. 2x
Ti si bila, uvijek bila
ptica sto se u meni svija
ti si bila, ti si bila
vino koje uvijek prija
ti si bila, uvijek bila
moje noci moja jutra
zar ce uspomena samo
biti moje novo sutra
Jesen je stigla i kise liju
surove noci po meni biju
misao svaka ka tebi leti
grijesio jesam, jesam, jesam
i to mi se sveti
Jer poslije svega oprostaj molim
jos uvijek duso mnogo te volim
Ref.
Ti si bila uvijek bila
Zdravko Čolić's "Ti si bila uvijek bila" stands as a quintessential example of Yugoslav pop-rock, capturing the emotional intensity and melodic sophistication characteristic of his career. Released during a period where Čolić was redefining the genre with his signature blend of romantic balladry and driving rhythms, the track exemplifies the era's focus on personal narrative and atmospheric production. The song's enduring appeal lies in its ability to convey deep longing and nostalgia without relying on explicit lyrical exposition, allowing the music itself to tell the story of unrequited love and memory. As a staple of Čolić's discography, it remains a defining work that bridges the gap between traditional folk influences and modern pop sensibilities, cementing his status as a pivotal figure in the region's musical history.
