mesec srebro lije
biser drobi na sareni
cilim Sumadije

Sumadijo, zavicaju, lepoto
noci me tvoje opise
bez tebe sam kao dete siroto
sve mu dajte, za majkom uzdise
Ispod krova ocevoga
mlado momce spava
mirno sanja da s' cobankom
stado prebrojava
Ref. 2x
Dole reka zuboreci
kvasi polje ravno
sapce mala iz vajata
ceznem preodavno

Sumadijo, zavicaju, lepoto
Zoran Jovanović's 'Sumadijo, zavicaju, lepoto' stands as a quintessential example of Yugoslav folk music, blending traditional regional melodies with a distinct vocal style that defined his career. The song celebrates the cultural identity of the Sumadija region, using lyrical themes of nostalgia and pride to evoke a deep connection to Serbian heritage. Recorded during the height of Jovanović's popularity in the 1980s, the track exemplifies the genre's characteristic fusion of acoustic instrumentation and emotive singing. It remains a staple in the repertoire of folk ensembles and is frequently cited as a defining work of the era's musical landscape, reflecting both the artistic evolution of the singer and the enduring appeal of regional folk traditions across the former Yugoslavia.
