"Vozi miško" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Вози мишко", lit. "Drive, Miško") is a song performed by prominent Serb war singer Baja Mali Knindža. Despite its appearance on a Braća sa Dinare album, Novak and Lujan do not appear on the track.

Music and lyrics

Unlike most songs on Bila jednom jedna zemlja, "Vozi miško" is a love song and is one of two songs on the album arranged by Orkestar Pravoslavci. 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.

The song uses vocal samples of what is assumed to be Baja saying "Vozi Miško".

The song's title is a reference to a saying deriving from the 1980 movie “Ko to tamo peva", though has no deeper connection to the movie. Rather, the saying is usually used to call a taxi[1], talk to a driver,[2] and/or to encourage others.[3] The song tells a story of a prince whose princess disappeared without a trace, much to his dismay.

Lyrics

Lyrics:

Dok je na vetru šumila breza,
bio sam princ, ona princeza
Bilo je ludo a onda čudo,
nestade draga negde bez traga

Jedna mi žena uzela sve,
ja nikog nemam, Beograde
Jedna mi žena uzela sve,
Sami smo noćas, moj Beograde

Ulična svetla u noći sjaje,
ispraćam noćas zadnje tramvaje
Kraj reke Dole, šume topole,
kiša se sprema, dragane nema

Jedna mi žena uzela sve,
ja nikog nemam, Beograde
Jedna mi žena uzela sve,
Sami smo noćas, moj Beograde

Ulicom pustom i maglom gustom,
noga korača, bežim od plača
Šapuće vetar, miluje breze,
tužan je princ, nema princeze

Jedna mi žena uzela sve,
ja nikog nemam, Beograde
Jedna mi žena uzela sve,
Sami smo noćas, moj Beograde

Lyrics (English):

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
