Hercegova zemlja
Jozo Vucic · Other Songs - Jozo Vucic
devetsto i neke godine
mnogi ti krila lomili
ali ih nisu slomili
Ivan planina visoka
u Neumu voda duboka
Neretva ti lice umiva
u tebi se sunce ogleda
Ref.
Volim te, sanjam te
vinograde tvoje, masline
u srcu je mom svaki kamen tvoj
ne dam da ti ime nestane
Volim te, sanjam te
Hercegova zemljo prelijepa
u srcu si mom, cuvao te Bog
u sve vjeke vjekova
Kadulja kad ti zamirise
a blatina ti dusu opije
znat ces zasto zemlja rodi tu
i dobru Katarinu kraljicu
Svaka ti vlast k'o maceha
ti cjeli svjet naselila
zemlja ti si mojih djedova
radost i suza jedina
Ref. 2x
Hercegova zemlja

As a prominent figure in Yugoslav music, Vucic often explored themes of homeland and identity, making this track a significant song in his discography. The recording reflects the broader traditions of YUG genre music, blending folk sensibilities with the emotive power characteristic of the era. While the song appears alongside other notable works like "Medjugorska majko" and "Sokolica," it maintains a unique position by focusing specifically on the geographical and spiritual connection to the land. This piece remains a testament to Vucic's ability to convey deep regional pride and nostalgia, resonating with audiences who appreciate the rich tapestry of Balkan musical heritage.
