Kad u jesen lisce zuti (duet Dragoljub Lazarevic)

Andjelka Govedarovic · Other Songs - Andjelka Govedarovic

Kad u jesen lisce zuti
opada i vene
obicaj je u mom selu
momci da se zene

Ja sam tebe, devojcice
pitao u maju
'oce l' tebe, duso moja
tvoji da udaju

Kad me pitas, mlado momce
ja bih se udala
ali majka kaze - nemoj
kceri jos si mala

Nisi mala, zlato moje
lepa si u snazi
ja bih tebe negovao
k'o cvece u vazi

Kad u jesen lisce zuti

This duet featuring Andjelka Govedarović and Dragoljub Lazarević stands as a quintessential example of Yugoslav folk music, blending traditional acoustic instrumentation with emotive vocal harmonies. The song captures the melancholic beauty of autumn, a recurring theme in regional folk traditions that often reflects on the passage of time and seasonal change. Govedarović's distinctive voice, known for its warmth and storytelling quality, anchors the recording, while the collaboration with Lazarević elevates the piece into a shared narrative experience common in post-war Balkan music. Released within the broader canon of Yugoslav folk recordings, the track exemplifies the genre's focus on lyrical depth and communal singing, preserving cultural motifs that resonate across generations. Its enduring appeal lies in its authentic delivery and the timeless imagery of the withering leaves, making it a significant work in the artist's discography.
