Slavonijo, ja sam tvoje dijete

gdje se nebo s morem zita spaja
moja prva ljubav tu se skriva
Slavonija moja mirno sniva
Uspomene moje tu su tkane
k'o bisere nizao sam dane
volim ljude u mom starom kraju
ne mogu bez tebe, zavicaju
Ref.
Od rodjenja u srcu te nosim
Slavonac sam, s tobom se ponosim
uvijek k tebi moje misli lete
Slavonijo, ja sam tvoje dijete
Kada cujem stare pjesme tvoje
suzu skrivam na dnu duse moje
a na kraju kada pjesma krene
nitko nije sretniji od mene
A kad jednom svima kazem - zbogom
za sve vijeke ja cu ostat s tobom
mili kraju, zagrli me jace
pjevajte mi, nek ni'ko ne place
Ref.
A tribute to home in Slavonia
“Slavonijo, ja sam tvoje dijete” (“Slavonia, I Am Your Child”) is Kićo Slabinac's heartfelt declaration of belonging to the eastern Croatian region of Slavonia. The song is a musical tribute to home, shaped by memories of landscape, family and the people who make a place feel like one's own. Slabinac delivers it with the warmth of a personal statement rather than a detached patriotic performance, giving the song its strong connection to listeners from the region.
Krunoslav “Kićo” Slabinac was closely associated with Slavonian folk and tamburica traditions, and this recording reflects that identity. The song's arrangement and direct melodic style make it suitable for communal singing at regional celebrations and gatherings. It has been preserved through official video uploads and lyric collections, where it is frequently presented as one of the songs that speaks most clearly to Slabinac's regional roots.
There is no widely documented chart peak, but its cultural reach is visible in the way the song continues to be used at Slavonian events and shared by people with ties to the region. The track is a reminder that local popular music can carry a sense of home across generations and geography. “Slavonijo, ja sam tvoje dijete” is both a personal song and a collective expression of identity, with Slabinac's performance serving as its emotional center.
