Zasto stalno pijem

dobri ljudi, nije sve za price
zasto pjevam, zasto suze lijem
moj se zivot nikoga ne tice
Ref.
Zasto suze lijem
kakvu tugu krijem
zbog sudbine nesretne
ne pitajte, ne kume, ni mre
Svako srce svoju tajnu skriva
svak' za sebe boluje i zivi
neko glavu subaru pokriva
neko voli sesir da nakrivi
Ja nikome u dusu ne diram
nek' mi neko sudbu ne prorice
svojim putem, svoju frulu sviram
moj se zivot nikoga ne tice
Ref.
Zasto stalno pijem
Safet Isović's "Zasto stalno pijem" stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav rock, capturing the raw energy and existential angst of the late 1970s. Released during the height of the Belgrade rock scene, the track exemplifies the genre's fusion of electric guitar riffs with poetic, often melancholic lyrics that resonated deeply with a generation. As one of Isović's most celebrated compositions, the song reflects the turbulent socio-political climate of the era while establishing a lasting legacy in the region's musical history. Its enduring popularity underscores its role as a cultural touchstone, frequently covered and referenced in discussions of post-war Balkan music. The recording remains a quintessential example of the period's sound, characterized by its driving rhythm and emotional intensity.
