Raskrsnica sa tri puta
Lepa Lukic · Other Songs - Lepa Lukic
taj sastanak prvi koji bese drag
na raskrscu sada stojim svakog dana
da ugledam opet dva mi oka znana
Ref.
Raskrsnica sa tri puta
cekam dragog da mi bane
mora proci ako luta
od dragane do dragane
Pitaju me momci iz mog kraja
da l' putniku ovde pokazujem put
a ja njih ne pitam zasto oni stoje
da svog dragog cekam
kaze oko moje
Ref.
Ja sam stala ne bi li saznala
da li mu je neko usao u trag
ali momci cute pa saznati necu
sta raskrsce krije
da l' tugu il' srecu
Ref.
Raskrsnica sa tri puta
Lepa Leposava Lukić's 'Raskrsnica sa tri puta' stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav folk music, capturing the essence of rural life and the emotional weight of crossroads. Recorded in the mid-1960s, the song exemplifies the genre's characteristic blend of acoustic instrumentation and poignant vocal delivery. The lyrics, translated as 'A crossroads with three times,' metaphorically explore life's pivotal decisions and the uncertainty that accompanies them, a theme resonating deeply with the post-war Balkan experience. As one of Lukić's most celebrated works, it remains a staple in the regional repertoire, often performed at weddings and cultural gatherings to evoke nostalgia and communal identity. Its enduring popularity underscores the artist's mastery in weaving traditional melodies with universal human sentiment.
