Music and lyrics

The original 1995 version of the song is about a man who must leave his homeland in Krajina. With only two suitcases to his name, he leaves to parts unknown. The 2001 version omits any and all references to the war to reflect the current time period. Instead of being about someone who is displaced as a result of the breakup of Yugoslavia, it is about someone who is displaced as a result of a breakup in a relationship.

Lyrics

Original Version:

Lyrics:

Ne pitaj me što sam tužan
I što noćas nemam sna
Stavio sam čitav život
U dva kofera
 
Nemam nikoga
Sam sam ostao
Ranjeno je moje
Srce krajiško
 
Ne pitaj me što sam tužan
Što suza u oku sja
Plače nebo nad Krajinom
Plače Dinara
 
Nemam nikoga
Sam sam ostao
Ranjeno je moje
Srce krajiško
 
Ne pitaj me što sam tužan
Što noćima nemam sna
Zavičaja više nemam
Nemam ognjišta
 
Nemam nikoga
Sam sam ostao
Ranjeno je moje
Srce krajiško

2001 Version:

Lyrics:

Ne pitaj me što sam tužan
zašto noćas nemam sna
ceo život stavio sam
u dva kofera

Nemam nikoga,
sam sam ostao
ranjena mi duša,
srce slomljeno

Ne pitaj me što sam tužan
što suza u oku sja
ja sam bio srećan čovek,
a sad skitnica

Nemam nikoga,
sam sam ostao
ranjena mi duša,
srce slomljeno

Ne pitaj me što sam tužan
što noćima pijem ja
nestala je jedna ljubav,
ljubav velika

Nemam nikoga,
sam sam ostao
ranjena mi duša,
srce slomljeno
