Nova godina
Josip Bensak · Other Songs - Josip Bensak
ja bez tebe necu
sa tobom zivjet cu
ili umrijet cu
Za tebe dao bih
i ovaj zivot svoj
da si kraj mene
i da sam tvoj
Ref. 2x
Novu godinu
zelim da si tu
da si kraj mene, ljubavi
Da zaboravim
na sve sto je bilo prije
i da krenem dalje uz tebe
U ovoj godini
svo zlo zaboravi
sve ono najbolje
ti ostvari
Da si kraj mene
srce to ne krije
jer zivot bez tebe
zivot nije
Ref. 2x
A seasonal song with a limited paper trail
“Nova godina” (“New Year”) is credited to Josip Bensak in the song catalogue, but reliable public information about the recording is unusually sparse. The title places it in the tradition of seasonal New Year songs, a setting that typically links celebration with looking back and hoping for a fresh start. Beyond that context, there is not enough dependable material to describe its specific story or arrangement with confidence.
The available catalogue identifies Bensak as the performer, but it does not provide a verifiable release year, album, label or detailed biography. I could not confirm a chart history or find substantial contemporary coverage, so the song should not be assigned a more specific genre or commercial context without stronger evidence. This limited paper trail distinguishes it from better-documented regional holiday recordings.
For now, “Nova godina” is best treated as a seasonal archival entry whose title and artist credit are clear while its release history remains uncertain. Its presence in the lyric catalogue makes the recording discoverable, but not enough to support claims about reception or lasting popularity. More precise context would require an original release listing, artist source or contemporaneous recording credit.
