tugu leci mi kafana
sam sam sebe ubio
Prodje jedna, a jos pet ce
srce prezaliti nece
sto sam te izgubio
Ispred mene puta nikakvog
ovakvima ne pomaze bog
Ref.
Samo da joj kazem da se stidim
samo poslednji put da je vidim
pa nek' ode srecnom domu svom
kad ga nije imala sa mnom
Samo da ne vidi kako padam
samo da joj kazem da je shvatam
pa nek' ode, nek' se ne vrati
samo osmeh da joj zapamtim
Progoni me tvoja sena
sreca si mi nesudjena
mnogo sam te voleo
Jos me bole noci ove
mene tuga bratom zove
sa njom sam izgoreo
Ref.
Samo - Pedja Medenica
Pedja Medenica's 'Samo' stands as a defining track within the Yugoslav folk revival movement, capturing the raw emotional resonance characteristic of the genre during its peak in the 1990s. The song exemplifies the traditional acoustic instrumentation often paired with poetic lyrics that explore themes of longing and solitude, hallmarks of Medenica's discography. Released alongside other notable works by the artist, the recording reflects a period where Balkan folk music gained significant international traction through its authentic storytelling and melodic structure. Medenica's contribution to this catalog of songs remains a testament to the enduring appeal of regional folk traditions, influencing subsequent generations of musicians who sought to preserve and modernize the sound of the former Yugoslavia.
