Da me nije
Zeljko Samardzic · Other Songs - Zeljko Samardzic
imam zelju da me nema
mrzim svako novo jutro
sto bez nas se poradja
Nigde druga, nigde brata
radost nekuca na vrata
vec odavno mi se nista lepo
i ne dogadja
Da me nema mozda niko
ne bi zaplakao zamnom
u toj prici koja traje
ja sam zaboravljen lik
Ali zivot ide dalje
cudne razloge mi salje
da na malo srece
ima pravo cak i gubitnik
Ref.
Da me nije redom bi
sve kafane propale
kom' bi pesme pevali
kom' bi zore svitale
Da me nije ko bih te
kao oci voleo
s taksistima kruzio
tudje zene ljubio
Ref. 2x
Da me nije
Zeljko Samardžić's "Da me nije" stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav rock, capturing the raw energy and melancholic intensity characteristic of the region's post-war musical landscape. Released in the early 1980s, the track exemplifies the genre's fusion of hard rock instrumentation with deeply personal, often anguished vocals. As one of Samardžić's most celebrated works, the song became a cultural touchstone, resonating with audiences across the former Yugoslavia and cementing his legacy as a pivotal figure in the region's rock history. Its enduring popularity reflects the song's ability to articulate universal themes of longing and resilience through a distinctively local sonic identity.
