Jos sam usana ti zedan
Ljuba Alicic · Other Songs - Ljuba Alicic
uvek me je prevarila
ova glava, srce slomljeno
a ja sve sam dao tebi
srce dusu, kako nebi
kad sam te ko Boga voleo
Ref.
Jos sam usana ti zedan
a znam da te nisam vredan
kako sam ih samo ljubio
ne izlazim iz kafane
tu ce srce da mi stane
jer znam da sam te izgubio
Nikad moja nisi bila
uvek si od drugih krila
da sam taj, s kim delis postelju
klanjao se tvojoj seni
ubila si sve u meni
i odnela suzu poslednju
Ref.
Jos sam usana ti zedan
Ljuba Alicic's 'Jos sam usana ti zedan' stands as a quintessential example of Yugoslav folk music, blending traditional acoustic instrumentation with the emotive vocal style characteristic of the region's rural ballads. Released during the mid-20th century, the track captures the raw, unpolished aesthetic of folk recordings from that era, focusing on themes of longing and rustic life. The song reflects the broader musical landscape of Yugoslavia, where folk traditions were often preserved through live performances and studio recordings that prioritized authenticity over production polish. Alicic's delivery, often marked by a distinctive nasal tone, became a signature element of his discography, resonating deeply with audiences who valued the storytelling nature of folk music. This recording remains a significant piece in the catalog of Yugoslav folk, illustrating the enduring appeal of traditional melodies and the cultural identity they represent.
