Vagabund
Zdravko Colic · Other Songs - Zdravko Colic
al' tebi vjerovao nisam
tek kad su usne blijede
prisle ka mome licu
u casu tom sam znao sve
Jurim po prerijama
skitam po planinama
trazim po sjajnim zvjezdama
borim se s vjetrovima
skrivam se po sumama
drugujem sa lutalicama
Kad imam placam za sve
kad nemam zivim ko prije
sta je zivot i smrt
sta je strah
postojis samo ti
Sanjam po vozovima
spavam sa klosarima
placem za uspomenama
u nekim potkrovljima
lazno se milujem
sa umornim tudjim zenama
Al' iznad svega si ti
ti dajes nadu i moc
da trazim dalje i dalje
taj dom u kojem zivis ti
Vagabund - Zdravko Čolić
Zdravko Čolić's 'Vagabund' stands as a quintessential example of Yugoslav rock, blending raw energy with poetic lyricism that captured the spirit of a generation. Recorded during the height of his international fame, the track exemplifies his signature style: a fusion of hard rock instrumentation and deeply personal, often melancholic vocals. The song reflects the turbulent socio-political climate of the 1980s Balkans, a theme Čolić frequently explored in his discography. As a staple of his live performances and studio recordings, 'Vagabund' remains a powerful anthem of resilience and wanderlust, cementing Čolić's legacy as one of the most influential figures in post-war Balkan music. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to transcend specific historical moments, resonating with listeners who appreciate the authenticity and emotional depth of classic rock from the region.
