With how different the song is stylistically and thematically different, it is speculated that it was leftover material that didn't fit with anything in Baja's solo career and instead was put at the end of the album, similar to speculation regarding "[[Loš učenik]]" and "[[Dinarska divizija]]" in ''[[Braća sa Dinare (Album)|Braća sa Dinare]]''. | ||
The song uses vocal samples of what is assumed to be Baja saying "Vozi Miško". | |||

<poem lang="en"> | <poem lang="en"> | ||
While the birch rustled in the wind, | |||
I was a prince, she was a princess | |||
It was wild and then a miracle, | |||
My dear disappeared without a trace | |||
One woman took everything from me, | |||
I have no one, Belgrade | |||
One woman took everything from me, | |||
We are alone tonight, my Belgrade | |||
Streetlights shine in the night, | |||
Tonight I bid farewell to the last trams | |||
By the river Dole, the poplar trees rustle, | |||
Rain is coming, my dear is not here | |||
One woman took everything from me, | |||
I have no one, Belgrade | |||
One woman took everything from me, | |||
We are alone tonight, my Belgrade | |||
On the deserted street and in the thick fog, | |||
Feet are walking, I escape from tears | |||
The wind whispers, caressing the birches, | |||
The prince is sad, the princess is gone | |||
One woman took everything from me, | |||
I have no one, Belgrade | |||
One woman took everything from me, | |||
We are alone tonight, my Belgrade | |||
