Teske torbe

Luka Bulic · Other Songs - Luka Bulic

Oduvijek su torbe bile teske
u skoli i na faksu
treba poceti ispravljati greske
dobre ideje provoditi u praksu

Olaksajte teske torbe
cujete vi iz vlasti i oporbe
skinite te teske torbe
oko toga ne vodite borbe

Olaksajte teske torbe
cujete vi iz vlasti i oporbe
zaboravite tko je koje boje
zbog djece svoje i moje

Teske torbe

The schoolbag becomes a political object in this song. Children carry the weight of books every day, while adults in government and opposition are asked to stop turning the issue into another partisan fight. The repeated appeal to lighten the bags is simple enough to sound like a classroom chant, but that simplicity is pointed: a practical problem affecting students should not need to be translated into a battle over party colors.

The lyric works by keeping the focus on children’s bodies and routines rather than policy abstractions. Its demand is not to abolish education or blame teachers, but to make the burden visible and urge those with power to act. The entry provides no date, campaign or specific proposed reform, so I avoid tying the song to one policy announcement. No independent review of Bulić’s track was found. It remains a compact example of topical satire using an everyday inconvenience to expose how political argument can distract from the people the argument is supposed to serve.

Issue-driven comedy often finds its best subject in a concrete everyday object, and here the schoolbag gives weight—literally—to an argument about children’s welfare. The refrain is simple enough to sound like a campaign slogan, but the lyric’s appeal to both government and opposition resists partisan ownership. It asks for a practical response instead of another symbolic fight. The entry does not name a particular reform, so the song is best read as advocacy rather than a record of a specific policy. Its genre is closer to civic satire than to personal storytelling: a direct demand made memorable by repetition.
