Their first album Goblini ("The Goblins") was released only on tape in small printing in April 1994. A-side of the tape included songs by Lorelai and the B-side featured new songs. A few months later Divnić went to the army and was replaced by Nedeljko "Meketa" Nedić with whom the band recorded their second album Istinite priče I deo ("True Stories Part I") also released on tape. The album featured "Ciponjka", "eLeSDi se vraca kući" ("LSD Is Coming Home") and "Za Lorenu" ("For Loreena") and five rerecorded tracks from the first album. Divnić recorded drum sections on one part of the material. Later that year the band was joined by Džukele member Leo "fon Punkerstein" Pilipović since his band took a break because band members went to the army. In May 1995, Nedić left for Cyprus and was replaced by Zoran "Fric" Jević.
During the same year the band released a live tape of their appearance at Belgrade's KST on August 31, 1995. Among their songs the band played cover versions of KUD Idijoti's "Pisma o ribaru Marinu, Mari i moru" and "Minijatura", Ramones' "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" and "Commando" and a Serbian language version of The Clash's "I Fought The Law" (titled "Ne mogu više") which were regularly performed on concerts. The band also played Boris Novković's song "Tamara" since Jovanović was a part of Novković's band. "Ne mogu više" was dedicated to former president Slobodan Milošević and the last verse of the song is taken from the Talking Heads's track "Road To Nowhere". With the producer Aca Radosavljević the band recorded the CD U magnovenju. During the promotional tour for the album Filipović was replaced by Saša Šetka. The album featured live versions of "On je ona je", "Ima nas!", "Petra", "Vođa" and a cover of Videosex's song "Kako bih volio da si tu" ("I Wish You Were Here") renamed "Anja, volim te" ("Anja, I Love You") dedicated to Videosex vocalist Anja Rupel. During May, 1996 with the bands Svarog, Love Hunters and Ništa Ali Logopedi Goblini went on a Slovenian tour and on June got the call to perform at Zgaga rock festival at the place Hotič pri Litija near Ljubljana after which they toured Slovenia again (during autumn 1996). Live versions of their three songs were included on a various artists compilation Paket Aranžman - Svi protiv svih ("Package Deal - Everybody Against Everybody") recorded in Belgrade's KST held to celebrate the fifth birthday of the TV Politika show Paket Aranžman. In June 1997, the band toured Slovenia and performed at the second Zgaga rock festival with a new drummer, Vladimir "Cina" Cinklocki (a former Generacija Bez Budućnosti and Obojeni Program member).
A double live various artists compilation No Border Jam 4 & 5 released in 1997, featured live versions of "Ona misli da zna", "U magnovenju" and "eLeSDi se vraca kuci" recorded at Ilirska Bistrica performance in 1996. In August 1997 the band performed as an opening act for Motörhead on Budapest rock festival. Twenty recordings from thirteen cities made in Serbia and Slovenia from 1996 and 1997 were released on double CD Turneja u magnovenju '96/97. The album featured a new studio track "Punk's Not Dead" and reissue of "Istinite priče I deo". Cinklocki left the band when they were about to enter the studio in November 1998. The album "Re Contra" was finished on the day 1999 NATO bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia started. This was the reason the album was not released until December 1999. In the mean-time, the band went on a nine dates Italian tour including Milano, Rome, Bologna, Torino and other cities. On January 2000 until the spring of 2001, the band toured Serbia.
After the tour the band took a break and started planning their next album, but the economic situation in the country led Branko Golubović, Alen Jovanović, Saša Šetka, Vlada Kokotović and drummer Milan Arnautović to part their ways.
In 2003 Alen Jovanović formed a band called Starfuckers featuring members from Plexus, Midgard and CBS. In 2004, Multimedia Records released Najbolje priče ("The Best Stories") a greatest hits compilation featuring live versions of songs performed at the band's peak. The album also features videos for "Voz" and "Pričaš". The later was an unreleased track recorded in 1997 which is also included on the album.
In 2006 Živka Ivković from Šabac released a book called "Od Čivija do Goblina" ("From The Machine Heads To The Goblins") with a subtitle "Illustrated Rock History Of Šabac 1963-1999-2006".
In late 2008 Milan Arnautović formed alternative rock band Eleven together with his old mates. http://www.elevenmusic.net
Ne trebam nikome
Goblini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Srećan što postojim
Večeras ja sam
U boji noći
Izgužvane misli
Držim u ruci
Telefon ne zvoni
Loše je uvek loše
A dobro ima dva lica
Obuci se i kreni
Progutaj nešto da zavoliš svet
Lažne osmehe i jeftine poglede
Ne podnosim njihov dodir
I zato nikom' ne pružam ruku
Ne trebam nikome
Moj savršeni plan
Ne trebam nikome
Srećan sam ovako sam
Ne trebam nikome! (3x)
Izmišljen za sebe
Sretan što postojim
Večeras ja sam
U boji noći
Izgužvane misli
Držim u ruci
Telefon ne zvoni
Ne trebam nikome!
Ne trebam nikome
Moj savršeni plan
Ne trebam nikome
Srećan sam ovako sam
Ne trebam nikome! (3x)
Ne trebam, ne trebam ...
Ne trebam nikome ...
The song "Ne trebam nikome" by Goblini is about the singer's satisfaction with being alone and not needing anyone else. The lyrics describe the singer as happy to exist and comfortable in his own skin, without any desire for outside validation. He holds his tangled thoughts in his hand, but his phone is silent, indicating his lack of interest in social interaction. The song suggests that being alone can be a positive and empowering experience, and that it is important to prioritize self-love and inner happiness over the opinions of others.

Izmišljen za sebe
I am a figment of my own imagination, created solely for myself
Srećan što postojim
I am content just to exist and be alive
Večeras ja sam
Tonight, I am
U boji noći
In the color of the night
Izgužvane misli
My thoughts are crumpled up
Držim u ruci
I hold them in my hand
Telefon ne zvoni
The phone doesn't ring
Ne trebam nikome!
I don't need anyone!
Loše je uvek loše
Bad is always bad
A dobro ima dva lica
And good has two faces
Obuci se i kreni
Get dressed and go
Progutaj nešto da zavoliš svet
Swallow something to make you love the world
Lažne osmehe i jeftine poglede
Fake smiles and cheap looks
Ne podnosim njihov dodir
I can't stand their touch
I zato nikom' ne pružam ruku
And so I don't extend my hand to anyone
Moj savršeni plan
My perfect plan
Srećan sam ovako sam
I am happy being alone like this
Ne trebam, ne trebam ...
I don't need, I don't need...
Ne trebam nikome ...
I don't need anyone...
