a za sobom ne vidite gredu
kad to jednom primetite
bice sve u redu
Ref. 2x
Moj zivot je moja briga
i nicija vise
za sada mi lose nije
bas me briga za kasnije
Da se menjam ne bih hteo
crn za jednog, a za drugog beo
ko ce svima ugoditi
svima dobar biti
Ref. 2x
Ja ovakav i umrecu
da se menjam ne mogu i necu
vuk promeni dlaku lako
ali cud nikako

Moj zivot je moja briga
Zika Nikolić's "Moj zivot je moja briga" stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav folk music, capturing the raw emotional landscape of post-war Balkan life. Recorded in the late 1960s, the track exemplifies the genre's characteristic blend of traditional folk melodies with contemporary poetic sensibilities. The song's enduring popularity stems from its ability to articulate universal themes of personal struggle and resilience against a backdrop of societal upheaval. Nikolić's distinctive vocal delivery and the song's haunting melody have cemented its status as a staple in regional repertoires, influencing generations of folk singers who adopted its narrative style. As a cultural touchstone, the recording transcends its era to remain a powerful expression of individual identity within the broader Yugoslav musical tradition.
