sad ostavljam pivu i cigare
prodao sam i cacine ate
ovog ljeta zenicu se, brate
Ref.
'Oce mala da se uda
da je vodim bilo kuda
da joj pjevam od zore do mraka
bice nesto od nasega braka
Kosa crna, a vjetar je nosi
legla gara po jutarnjoj rosi
kaze mala, svako vece sanja
da je ljubi lola sa Zmijanja
Ref.
Voli gara kada kuca jeci
od mene joj niko nema preci
Boga moli i posti na vodi
tri junaka 'oce da mi rodi
Ref.
'Oce mala da se uda
The narrator says he is ready to give up beer and cigarettes, sell his father’s horses and marry the woman who has decided she wants a wedding. The song treats courtship as a turning point in a familiar bachelor’s life: his habits and resources are suddenly reorganized around the promise of a shared future. The refrain is cheerful and practical—take her anywhere, sing to her from morning to night—and the verses fill in a recognizable regional courtship scene.
But the lyric’s humor also leans on traditional gender roles. The bride is praised for her beauty and imagined as someone who will bear sons, while the man’s sacrifices are presented as the central proof of devotion. Those images belong to a familiar folk storytelling convention, but they reveal a narrower idea of marriage than the chorus’s sunny tone might suggest. The song offers affection, yet its future is described through roles that are already assigned.
Krajiška party-folk often turns marriage and courtship into communal narratives, with repetition inviting listeners to sing along at celebrations. This track fits that tradition through its straightforward refrain and named regional references. No independent song-specific review was located. Its charm is in the narrator’s comic conversion from bachelor to groom; its limitation is that the woman’s wishes mostly appear through what he says she wants, leaving the marriage’s shared future imagined from his side alone.
TV Duga Plus Melodija Records published an audio listing for the song on 12 March 2015. It had accumulated 75,901 YouTube views by 14 October 2026. This is useful evidence of an enduring online catalog presence, but it cannot tell us how the track performed on radio or in sales charts, and I found no independent critical review.
