Plava ciganka

Zasto dugu crnu kosu ti si skratila
nije valjda da bi se od mene sakrila
zasto dugu crnu kosu plavo oboji
skini sminku, umij lice, lose ti stoji

Ref.
Plava ciganko, plava ciganko
ceo grad zbog tebe zna me
u crno si zavila me

Plava ciganko, plava ciganko
crna ili plava bila
gresna si ma kakva bila

Ako crna nisi mogla verna ostati
neces ni sad tako plava bolja postati
ako mene nisi mogla vise voleti
covek budi pa mi priznaj, sve cu podneti

Ref.

Plava ciganka by Mile Kitic

Mile Kitic's 'Plava ciganka' stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav rock, capturing the raw energy and melancholic romance characteristic of the region's mid-to-late 1960s musical landscape. As a staple of the era's folk-rock fusion, the track exemplifies Kitic's ability to blend traditional folk melodies with electric instrumentation, creating a sound that resonated deeply across the former Yugoslavia. The song remains a cultural touchstone, frequently covered by subsequent generations of artists who sought to emulate its distinctive vocal style and driving rhythm. Its enduring popularity underscores its role not merely as a recording, but as a significant contribution to the broader canon of Balkan music history.
