Alal ti vera, devojcice

crne oci, ruke bele
ko ti tako zlatnu kosu
niz ramena prosu
Ref. 2x
Alal ti vera, devojcice
jos ne videh lepse lice
sve bi dao da sam tvoj
joj, mala, joj
Usne su ti tresnje zrele
vitko telo k'o u jele
a niz lice rumen lije
ljubljeno jos nije
Ref. 2x
Korak ti je igra ziva
tvoje oko vatru skriva
u glasu ti pesma zivi
svak' se tebi divi
Ref. 2x
Alal ti vera, devojcice
Zoran Jovanović's 'Alal ti vera, devojcice' stands as a quintessential example of Yugoslav folk music, blending traditional melodic structures with the emotive storytelling characteristic of his discography. Recorded during the height of the region's folk revival, the track exemplifies the genre's focus on pastoral themes and social commentary delivered through poetic lyrics. Jovanović's voice, often described as a defining element of the era's acoustic sound, brings a raw authenticity to the composition, distinguishing it from more polished contemporary recordings. The song reflects the cultural atmosphere of the time, capturing the essence of rural life and the enduring connection to heritage that defined much of the region's musical output in the late 20th century.
