I'm sharing the picture, but the ones who are listening are not seeing.

So, ko je danas naš pevač?

Today is our peyler Zdravko Čolić.

He is very popular in Serbia and is very

On je veoma, veoma popularan u Srbiji i bio je veoma popularan

popular in Yugoslavia.

u Jugoslaviji, dok je još postojala Jugoslavija, pošto je on iz Sarajeva,

rođen u Bosni, ali je bio zaista popularan u svim ondašnjim

republikama. I još uvijek je popularan i danas posle toliko godina.

i dalje je popularan i dalje je omiljen i dalje peva i drži koncerte

da i izgleda super još izgleda super, da, da sad ima

nekde 70 godina da ali nikad mu ne biste dali te godine zaista

odlično izgleda i dalje ima energije da držite koncerte i da uvek okupi

publiku stvarno je onako zadivljenje i poštovanje da, slažem se ali koja

je vrsta pesama on peva?

on peva pa mogli bismo da kažemo pop, uglavnom pop mada bilo je tu

raznih nekih faza bilo je i pesama koje su bile više rock

bilo je i nekih sa nekim etno etno detaljima,

etno elementima

kao na primer ružice, ružo, ruška i tako neke brze pesme koje su imale

tako neke etno detalje odnoslanjale se malo na našu etno etno tradiciju, ali uglavnom

su pop pesme malo šlagiri ali

puno pop pesama i balada divnih и неких бржих које су супери за

дђусканје и тако.

Да. И мислим да они кажу «Tom Джонс оф the Balkанс»

за он. Могло би се речи.

Moglo bi se reći.

Могло би се речи.

Нисам баш пратила карјеру Тома Джонса, of the Balkans, Zalon.

Nisam baš pratila karijeru Toma Johnsona, ne znam kako se to razvijalo, mislim, vam

da je bio megazvezda,

ali Zdravko Čolić je stvarno bio nešto posebno.

I dalje je, ne mogu da pričam u prošlom vremenu.

Ja se sećam Ja sam imala negde 15 godina, kada je on

postao zaista popularan i pre toga je imao

nekih pesama, ali 75.

šeste godine je izdao svoj prvi album

i tada je postao zaista zvezda na prostorima Jugoslavije ja sam tada

imala nekih 14-15 godina i sećam se da smo sve moje drugarice

i ja bile zaljubljene uz dravka to je bilo on je tad stvarno izgledao

super, nosio neko da, to je bio taj album ti i ja

baš je stvarno bio simpatičan momak lepu visinu ima osjeća se da je

na nekom od tih albuma bio u nekom crvenom satenskom modelu

seksi tako su se nosile 70-ih

uske sa zvonastim nogavicama naravno i stvarno je baš bio

kit tad su se, tad je počela sa njim da ide i njegova plesna

grupa

Lokice, tako su se spale

Bilo je njih, ja mislim, osam ili deset devojaka i one su isto bile

karakteristične, su sve imale istu frizuru i tako si morao da imaš takvu frizuru.

Mislim, sve mi deoviki i devojčice morale smo da imamo takvu frizuru ako smo

mislili da budemo moderne.

Tako da je to bilo stvarno

baš onako ludilo za zdravkom.

Sveći se da jedna moja drugarica

iznenada počela da tako izgovara č, č, tako mekano, što

do tada nije i tvrdila da ona to tako izgovara, a spoznala da to

izgovara zato što zdravko tako izgovara.

I to su bili posteri i zdravkovi na sve strane.

Tako da i uvijek i za njega bilo zanimljivo

što su njega voljeli svi stvarno sve generacije i

neke babe u to doba i klinke svi su voljeli zdravka jer je

zdravko bio tako, dobar dečko dobar dečko nikada nije nikada nije bilo nekih skandala

vezanih za zdravka niti su izlazile o njemu, ove neke pričice

po tabloidima i tako to.

Uvijek je stvarno bio momak na mestu, a pritom popularan da je mogao

da radi šta god želi, ali je uvijek imao meru i uvijek je bio

stvarno

momak za divljenje i za poštovanje.

I stvarno njegova popularnost je uvijek zasnovana bila na tome što je pre svega

fantastičan pevač. Stvarno ima glas koji se nesreće

često. I ima

Sve, jednom rečiju i izgled, i harizmu, i taj fantastičan glas, i energiju,

tako da je zapalio celu Jugoslaviju.

I to je trajalo, trajalo i traje i dalje.

I dalje, da, hvala mnogo.

I koja je pesma u kojoj ćemo da pričamo danas?

Pa pričat ćemo malo o pesmi koja se zove Ti si mi

u krvi. Ti si mi u krvi znači You are in my blood, right?

Da. Da. I za tu pesmu je vezano,

tu pesmu je komponovao Kornelije Kovač, koji

je isto bio veliko, veliko ime.

obeležio je zaista celu epohu tog jugopopa,

jugoslovenskje pop scene

tokom nekoliko decenija komponovao mnoge stvarno divne pesme i za Zdravka Čolića i za

druge pevače i bendove.

A njegova supruga je napisala tekst.

A, nisam znala to.

Da, da. Tako da eto, njih dvoje su bili tandem i njih dvoje su

napravili tu pesmu i zaista ima baš onako lep emotivan tekst.

Ajde da ćvijemo malo Ajde

Zbog teme sanjam ciganem

I smišljam sladke premare

Al džavo se ne predaje

Ti si mi ukrti

Goosebumps i have on this part.

Me too, me too.

So, this song is about longing, right?

You would say?

Yes.

Although as far as I understand, they're still together.

She's still there, but there is still this longing and wish to be together

and stay together and how strong this love and connection is.

and it really sounds very very inspired as you say it gives you goosebumps

every time exactly and for Serbian learners this song especially is nice because it

has this beautiful you know birds like toliko dugih godina like padiji

is in there but you don't need to worry about it you just memorize

it yes yes that's the best way i agree

i tried all the ways and this is the best way yes if you

start worrying about cases and everything it's hot so why only one question

i'm dreaming of gypsies because of you i just don't understand this part i

think it's cultural reference but I'm not sure what he wants to say here.

Well, neither am I, to be honest.

Really? I don't know.

I don't know why.

Is it because there are some stories,

at least when I was old, although that might not sound politically correct today.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

that uh it didn't age well maybe in that in that uh part but

we shouldn't pay attention to that but it was when i was little it

was like uh we would say i mean my grandmother would tell me if

you're not good gypsies will come and steal you and take you away with

them because they're always on the road you know um and so maybe this

is like his fear that someone might come and steal her away from from

him that's the only idea that i have about this yes okay yes

okay even though i want to talk to you more about this but we

have this time limit so hwala munago ot sipsa Thanks a lot.

I'm happy. Thank you very much.

See you. Bye.
