goreli smo u ljubavnom zaru
jedno leto volesmo se samo
i odosmo svak' na svoju stranu
Ref.
Izabela, Izabela, zasto te nema, voljena
prazan bez tebe zivot je moj
Izabela, Izabela, ostacu vecno tvoj
Jedno drugom adrese smo dali
ja ti pisem odgovora nema
da l' me i sad volis kao nekad
il' si mozda sada tudja zena
Ref.
Pozdravljam te po vetru i suncu
sa zvezdama drugujem po noci
ako si me bar nekad volela
u moj zivot ti ces sama doci
Ref.

Nihad Kantic's 'Izabela, Izabela' stands as a defining track within the Yugoslav folk revival movement of the 1990s. Recorded in a style that blends traditional Balkan melodies with contemporary pop arrangements, the song exemplifies the era's fascination with romanticized historical narratives and regional identity. Kantic's emotive vocal delivery and the song's melodic structure reflect the broader cultural currents of the time, where artists sought to reconnect with ancestral roots while addressing modern sensibilities. As a staple of his discography, the recording captures the atmospheric depth characteristic of his work, resonating deeply with audiences who appreciate the fusion of folk instrumentation and polished production found in Yugoslav music of that period.
