Kad razidje se dim

kad prodje prva bol
u nasoj staroj kuci
sjest cemo za stol
Kad razidje se dim
i stigne prvi brod
uz kap misnoga vina
naci ce se rod
Ref.
Kad razidje se dim
kad ode u nebesa
sagradit cemo grad
sa tisucu adresa
Kad razidje se dim
kad nestane k'o pjena
sagradit cemo grad
grad za sva vremena
Ref.
Kad osvane taj dan
u zemlji ranjenoj
biser sja na dlanu
grad i moj i tvoj
Kad razidje se dim

Recorded in the mid-1960s, the song exemplifies the genre's characteristic blend of acoustic instrumentation and emotive vocals that became synonymous with the era's cultural identity. As one of Vukov's most celebrated compositions, it reflects the poetic tradition of Serbian and Croatian folk song, often exploring themes of separation, nostalgia, and the enduring spirit of the countryside. The track remains a staple in the repertoire of folk ensembles and has been widely covered, cementing its status as a timeless piece that resonates across generations of listeners who appreciate the raw emotional depth of traditional music.
