Soliter
Zeljko Sasic · Other Songs - Zeljko Sasic
kao stari pas
ulica mi krevet
kafana mi spas
Skocio bih i sa vrha solitera
samo da me na to
tvoja ljubav tera
Sa najviseg mosta
u najdublji vir
ako je to tvoja zelja ili hir
Ref.
Zbog tebe su moje nade
skoro mrtve
a tebe bas briga
trazis nove zrtve
Zbog tebe su srcu
pokidane niti
a tebe bas briga
sta ce sa mnom biti
Gledali smo nekad
setno u daljinu
i davali ime
nerodjenom sinu
Sad bez tebe lutam
kao stari pas
ulica mi krevet
kafana mi spas
Ref.
Ko prosjak za ljubav
i dalje te molim
jer i kad te mrzim
najvise te volim
Skocio bih s mosta
u najdublji vir
ako je to tvoja zelja ili hir
Ref.
Soliter - Zeljko Sasić
Zeljko Sasić's 'Soliter' stands as a defining track within the Yugoslav folk revival movement of the 1980s. Recorded during a period when traditional Balkan melodies were being reimagined with modern sensibilities, the song exemplifies the genre's characteristic blend of acoustic instrumentation and emotive vocal delivery. As a staple of Sasić's discography, the recording captures the essence of regional folk traditions, often featuring themes of solitude and longing that resonate deeply with the cultural identity of the former Yugoslavia. The song remains a significant example of how folk music transcended its origins to become a pan-regional phenomenon, influencing subsequent generations of artists who sought to preserve and evolve the acoustic heritage of the Balkans.
