da samnom srecu zivis
i ako s drugom odem
ti neces da me krivis
Ref.
A kad si moja bila
ja srecu nisam krio
jednom si davno cula
da sam sa drugom bio
Lazu te ljudi lazu
i lome nasu srecu
mozda sam s drugom bio
al nikad priznati necu
Ako je ljubav sreca
srecni smo tada bili
isli smo zagrljeni
jer ljubav nismo krili
Normalno da sam hteo
da zivim zivot pravi
svaki je zivot prazan
ako je bez ljubavi
Ref.
A kad si moja bila
Predrag Zivković Tožovac's 'A kad si moja bila' stands as a quintessential example of Yugoslav folk music, blending traditional acoustic instrumentation with a melancholic vocal delivery that captures the emotional depth of the region's rural heritage. The song reflects the broader tradition of Serbian and Yugoslav folk ballads, where themes of lost love, nostalgia, and the passage of time are woven into the narrative. Recorded in the mid-to-late 20th century, the track exemplifies the genre's characteristic use of folk instruments such as the accordion and guitar, creating an atmospheric soundscape that resonates with listeners familiar with the cultural landscape of the former Yugoslavia. Tožovac's rendition is noted for its raw authenticity, preserving the lyrical structure and emotional weight of the original composition while adding a personal interpretive layer that has cemented the song's status within the artist's discography and the wider folk canon.
