Like father, like son, Marko is driving off in new directions, furthuring the orkestar's reputation as innovators with their free appropriation of latin, jazz, funk and other international influences into the time-honoured traditional framework which remains at the big beating heart of the music.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ритам којим моје срце удара
Песма која моју душу отвара
Црно вино, друштво, жене, забава
То је живот, нина нина ни на на

Весели сте весели, тако ваља другови
С песмом душу отворим
И на време не мислим

Друштво моје, само то је рај

Весели сте весели, тако ваља другови
С песмом душу отворим

И на време не мислим
Друштво моје, само то је рај
