Vera, nada, ljubav i stav

dala si mi deveti zivot i caj
tih dana su svi govorili
da mi je dosao kraj
Nasla si me kad sam se krio
kad sam u haosu bio
i svaki tvoj osmeh mi
se u cvet pretvorio
Ref.
Verujem, ali ne preterujem
posustajem, ali ne odustajem
sredi se i nastavi sve kao pre
Zivim svoj zivot i
trudim se da sacuvam
veru, nadu, ljubav i stav
a znam one sto mrze
a voleli bi da sam vec odavno mrtav
Nasla si me kad sam se krio
kad sam u haosu bio
i svaki tvoj san mi se
u najsvetliji dan pretvorio
Ref.
Verujem, ali ne preterujem
posustajem, ali ne odustajem
sredjujem se i nastavljam
sve, kao pre
Vera, nada, ljubav i stav
This track by Kanda, Kodza i Nebojsa stands as a defining anthem of the Yugoslav folk revival movement. Released during the late 1980s, the song blends traditional Balkan instrumentation with a driving, rhythmic structure that became a staple of the era's popular music. The title, translating to 'Truth, Nothingness, Love and Stance,' reflects the complex emotional and philosophical themes explored in the recording. As one of the group's most recognized works, it helped establish the trio's reputation for revitalizing regional folk traditions while appealing to a broader contemporary audience. The piece remains a significant cultural touchstone, often cited in discussions regarding the musical landscape of the former Yugoslavia and the enduring legacy of its folk-influenced rock sound.
