Hercegova zemlja

Jozo Vucic · Other Songs - Jozo Vucic

Ime ti se, draga, spominje
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.
