"Бјеласицом пасла стада"
Song by Изворна
GenreNovokompovana

"Bjelasicom pasla stada" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Бјеласицом пасла стада", lit. "") is a traditional folk song featured on the war albums Ljubiša Vasiljević and Majci Srpkinji, though the ladder has a slightly altered version. Outside of war music, it has been covered by other folk figures like Guslar Milomir Miljanić, Trubači Milan Petrović, and Goci bend.

Music and lyrics

The song is said to be of Montenegrin origin, though it is unknown when the song was created. While it has been covered by folk artists, it also exists in a gusle format. The song will sometimes appear with a different name, often swapping out "Bjelasicom" with a different name. Examples are "Zlatniboro pasla stada" and "Volujakom pasla stada". The song has no chorus, though each verse is repeated once.

Lyrics

Lyrics:

Bjelasicom pasla stada
čuvala ih bjela Rada

Njoj dolazi momče mlado
pa joj veli zdravo Rado

Ona njemu veli na to
zdravo momče nepoznato

Otkud Rado, otkud zlato
otkud sam ti nepoznato

Još kada smo bili mali
tvoji su me zetom zvali

Tvoji su me zvali zete
prodje vreme ne uzeh te

1993 version (Majci Srpkinji)

This version has a slightly altered third verse. It is the only documented occasion of this version as the song's appearance in Moje najljepše pjesme is the regular. It is unknown why this version is different, though factors like misremembering, a regional difference, or personal choice could play a role. This is the most unique version of the song as its style is more akin to waltz than traditional folk.

Lyrics:

Bjelasicom pasla stada
čuvala ih bjela Rada

Njoj dolazi momče mlado
pa joj veli zdravo, Rado

Zdravo Rado, zdravo zlato
zdravo, momče nepoznato

Otkud Rado, otkud zlato
otkud sam ti nepoznato

Još kada smo bili mali
tvoji su me zetom zvali

Tvoji su me zvali zete
dođe vrijeme i uzeh te
