really like your music shared @ http://jallamusic.blogspot.com/2011/08/rakija.html

@midnightlady: Glad you like it. World music / Balkan / Gypsy / Latino... it doesn't matter :)

Very nice! I would still like a bit more "dirty"… the sound is too clean… 

Thanks for your comment! We keep that dirty sound for live performances, and tried something new in the studio :)

Izgubljeni grad / The lost city
(Words and music: Janko Radovanović)

Ležim u krevetu, prikovan za postelju
Telo otkazuje, a suze naviru
Kao slepi putnik, ja, nikome privlačan
Uporno pokušavam pronaći svoje drugo ja

A ja, uzalud tražim izgubljeni grad
Ja ne želim da priznam da nema povratka

Boban-bum  REMIX

Nema zemlje te / No country worth dying for
(Words: Jelena Popović; Music: Janko Radovanović)

Zemlje mnoge gazio je njezin korak lak
I kroz trnje prođe bosa, noseći svoj znak
Ušla je u svako selo, svaki obišla grad
Cvetu svome za zemljicom da utoli glad

Došla je do hladnog mora, dohvatila led
Za njom osta trag od suza, beživotan, bled
Zaspala je sanjajući cveća svoga raj
Otopivši željom svojom samog sveta kraj

Ka njoj strahove narod upire
Nema zemlje zbog koje se umire

Nema zemlje zbog koje se umire
Nema zemlje zbog koje se ubija, znaj!


Rakija - Nema zemlje te

Čije je ono devojče / Whose girl is that
(Trad. song from Eastern Serbia, adapted by Rakija)

Čije je ono devojče
Ðurđe, le, Đurđe momo, Ðurđe
Vojvodo

Što nosi pero na 'ero, Ðurđe, le, Ðurđe momo
Što nosi dukat na čelo, Ðurđe, le, Ðurđe momo, Ðurđe
Hej, vodo, vojvodo

Što spušta dole po dole, Ðurđe, le, Ðurđe momo
Da mu se noge ne bele, Ðurđe, le, Ðurđe momo, Ðurđe

Ono je moje devojče, Ðurđe, le, Ðurđe momo, Ðurđe
Hej, vodo, vojvodo
Hej, vodo, vojvodo


Rakija - Cije je ono devojce

Moja Sestra / My Sister
(Words and music: Janko Radovanović)

Moja sestra sreće nema
Moja sestra sreće nema
Moja sestra je sreća sama za sebe

Moja sestra brata ima
Moja sestra brata ima
A ja ne znam kako da je čuvam
A ja ne znam kako da je čuvam

Moja sestra sreće nema
Moja sestra sreće nema
A ja ne znam kako da je čuvam

Moja sestra brata ima
Moja sestra brata ima
Moja sestra je sreća, sreća za mene
***
Nikad dospela nisam
Do visina u kojima ploviš
Želim da podelim sa tobom noć
Da ti opet zablistaš na nebu mom

Nikad uspeli nisu
Zatrovati dušu tvoju
Zatvori oči i kreni u noć
Jer krv tvoja nemirna živi za to

Mirno spavaj, sestrice
Mirno spavaj, sestro!


Rakija - Moja Sestra
