Pjesma bivšem drugu

From Savez

"Pjesma bivšem drugu" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Пјесма бившем другу" lit. "A Song To A Former Friend") also known as "Bivši druže" is a song performed by Mišo Maunaga. Before the song was officially identified, an acquaintance of Maunaga confirmed that Maunaga performed the song along with confirmation of a music video that has yet to surface.[1] Thirty years later, SuperTon uploaded the song in full. While the song is in high quality, the master might have been damaged since there is some static heard before the last verse.

Lyrics

Lyrics:

Sjećaš li se bivši druže
Nekad dok smo bili mali
Kod mene si dolazio
I tvoji su mene zvali

Kavku hoćeš druže Bosnu?
U njoj Srbi da vam služe?
Sad tenkovi kad zagrme
Kako ti je bivši druže

Voljeli smo isto piće
Iste pjesme, iste žene
Al' rat stiže i ti dođe
Sa oružjem tad kod mene

Kavku hoćeš druže Bosnu?
U njoj Srbi da vam služe?
Sad tenkovi kad zagrme
Kako ti je bivši druže

Nemoj sutra sa me tražiš
I da pričaš "nisam znao"
Kunem ti se, oplakaćeš
Ono što si zakuvao

Kavku hoćeš druže Bosnu?
U njoj Srbi da vam služe?
Sad tenkovi kad zagrme
Kako ti je bivši druže

Lyrics (English):

Do you remember, former friend
Once, when we were little
You were coming to me
And your family was calling me

Which Bosnia do you, friend, want?
With Serbs in it to serve you?
Now when tanks are rumbling
How do you feel, former friend?

We were loving same drinks
Same songs, same women
But the war starts and you come
With weapons to my home then

Which Bosnia do you, friend, want?
With Serbs in it to serve you?
Now when tanks are rumbling
How do you feel, former friend?

Don't you look for me tomorrow
Don't you say, "I didn't know"
I swear to you, you will mourn
That what you committed

Which Bosnia do you, friend, want?
With Serbs in it to serve you?
Now when tanks are rumbling
How do you feel, former friend?
