Stari lav

pogled mi je nebo plav
i budi sigurna
jos te voli stari lav
Hrabro srce mi je drug
ne pitam ga da li smem
da za tobom ja
ovako mator zaplacem
I posle tol'ko vremena
nisam skinuo tvoj ruz
i ostao sam sam
ne bi' bio dobar muz
Ref.
Ako rodi se ta
kojoj reci cu "Da"
nesto mora da zna
i zivi s' tim
Da lagacu je
k'o tebe varacu je
jer sam strucnjak da sve
sto zavolim, i unistim
Ne znam sta bih radio
ne znam gde bih posao
da kajem se non-stop
e, to mi je posao
Cuvam staru naviku
da te zagrlim u snu
pa svake noci ja
spavam kao da si tu

As one of Samardžić's most celebrated compositions, it has transcended its era to become a staple of the region's musical heritage, frequently covered by subsequent generations of artists who emulate his distinctive vocal style and melodic approach. The song's enduring popularity reflects its ability to resonate with audiences across generations, serving as a powerful testament to the emotional depth and artistic integrity of Yugoslav rock music.
