Sirotica
Milica Krsmanovic · Other Songs - Milica Krsmanovic
sa mog lica ja obrisem suze
pa se pitam moja majko draga
sto sudbina prerano te uze
Ref.
Kad bi mogla majko da ozivis
na tren jedan svoju cerku vidis
da mi kao nekad brises suze s' lica
bez tebe sam, majko, sirotica
Druge zene tesile su mene
kao maloj pricale mi bajke
govorile bas je slatka mala
sirotica ostade bez majke
Ref.
Za utehu osta' tvoja slika
cesto puta placem pred tom slikom
zivim zivot kao da ne zivim
tesko mi je, ne daj Boze nikom
Ref.
Sirotica by Milica Krsmanovic
Milica Krsmanovic's 'Sirotica' stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav pop, capturing the raw emotional landscape of the 1980s. The track exemplifies the genre's signature blend of melancholic vocals and driving rhythms, often associated with the era's youth culture and post-war sentiment. As a staple of her discography, the song has transcended its original release to become a cultural touchstone, frequently covered by subsequent generations of artists who emulate her vocal style. Its enduring popularity reflects the song's ability to articulate universal themes of longing and solitude within the specific musical context of the former Yugoslavia. The recording remains a critical reference point for understanding the evolution of Balkan pop music during its formative decades.
