Radi me bol
Katarina Zivkovic · Other Songs - Katarina Zivkovic
ja vezbam osmeh, a vidi se tuga
a vidi se tuga
I smisljam rec pa ako te sretnem
totalno kul na minut da budem
na minut da budem
Jer zelim tako da te ubedim
da mi ne trebas, da te ne volim
Ref.
A radi me bol bas k'o nikad pre
jer sanjam jos te usne neverne
i svaku noc poznajem po zlu
od kada nisi tu, od kada nisi tu
Ma radi bol, srce udara
jos dodir tvoj pamet mi pomera
pa koraci do srece ne stizu
od kada nisi tu, od kada nisi tu
Odavno nasa me istina vredja
ja dadoh zivot, a ti noz u ledja
a ti noz u ledja
Ref.
A heartbreak that refuses to stay hidden
Katarina Živković's “Radi me bol” (“Pain Is Getting to Me”) is a contemporary Serbian heartbreak ballad about trying to appear composed while grief remains visible beneath the surface. The narrator rehearses what to say if an ex-partner appears, but the effort to look unaffected cannot erase the hurt. Živković's vocal performance gives the song its tension, balancing outward confidence with the private ache implied by the title.
Released in 2016, the track was written by Jovana Radosavljević, with music by Dejan Kostić. An official video helped introduce the song to viewers, while its streamlined pop-folk arrangement placed it comfortably within Živković's repertoire. The recording uses a recognizable breakup scenario, but its focus on the performance of being “fine” makes the emotional point more specific than a simple lament.
A verified chart peak is not consistently reported, but the official video and streaming presence have kept the song accessible to fans of Serbian pop-folk. “Radi me bol” is a strong example of Živković's ability to pair a direct emotional premise with a polished modern arrangement. The song's voice is both wounded and self-protective: the narrator knows the pain is still there, even while trying to control how much of it another person can see.
