The first members of the band were: Admir Ahmetović (drums), Damir Terzić (guitars), Nedim Sinanović (bass) and Dino Šaran (vocals), both of the latter songwriters. Letu Štuke intrigued music critics back then with their vigouros work and numerous concerts on (what was then known as) Sarajevo demo scene. Sadly though, because of the various changes and because the members had to serve in the army, and after that the war in Bosnia during the 1990's - the group falls apart and everything stays still just on their demo recordings.
Members of the band move to various corners of the world, while Dino Šaran after a short stay in Zagreb goes back to Sarajevo. While writing songs for various Croatian musicians (such as Severina and many others) he starts thinking about starting the band again. With his strong will and with big help from the arranger-producer-precusionist Đani Pervan (who in the meantime moved to Paris, and became one of the Darko Rundek & Cargo Orkestar members) in February of 2005. Letu Štuke goes into studio and finally, after 17 years of waiting, their first album is being recorded.
Now famous Croatian label Menart recognizes great potential in Letu Štuke and presses the realese of the album annoucing it as "one of the most interesting rock albums to come out this year".
In early 2008. they release their second album Proteini i ugljikohidrati.
The band members now are: Dino Šaran (vocals) and Đani Pervan (drums and precusions) as the main duo, Dejan Ostojić (bass), Dino Vatrenjak (guitars) and Slobodan Ćosić (keyboards).
sami
Letu Štuke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kući se vraćaš umorna
Ljubav je nova riječ, čak i kad blijedi
Što da se lažemo, navika
'Ko mi to poruke šalje?
Zar tako moramo dalje, ti i ja?
Sami, ti i ja
Volim te najviše, najviše voliš
Dodir sa onim što već znaš
Kad imaš razlog da okreneš leđa
Izbor se uvijek javi sam
Kroz mene gledaš dok pričaš
Nekog u mislima skidaš, skidam i ja
Sami smo na svijetu, izgleda
Sami, ti i ja
Pencilin napada frižider,vrijeme prolazi
Niti gdje idemo, nit' nam 'ko dolazi.
Peći se gase, svako je za se
Pjevaju mase o tome da ni jedna ljubav nije sretna.
The lyrics to "Sami," by Letu Štuke, convey feelings of loneliness and disconnect in a relationship. The opening lines, "Skriven u utrobi dolazim sebi/Kući se vraćaš umorna," suggest a sense of inward contemplation and reflection that contrasts with the mundanity and exhaustion of everyday life. The next line, "Ljubav je nova riječ, čak i kad blijedi/Što da se lažemo, navika," reflects a certain disillusionment with love and its promise of eternal renewal. The singer is admitting to themselves that love can become a habit, a comfort, even as it fades.
The chorus, "Sami smo na svijetu, izgleda/Sami, ti i ja," emphasizes the distance between two people who are physically together, suggesting that they may not truly understand each other or share a sense of connection. The verse "Kroz mene gledaš dok pričaš/Nekog u mislima skidaš, skidam i ja" further suggests this sense of separation, as the singer relates how they both seem to be distracted, fantasizing about other things while they are together.
Finally, the lyrics take on a more desperate tone in the final verse, as the singer describes feeling adrift in the world with no clear direction or purpose. The lines "Peći se gase, svako je za se/Pjevaju mase o tome da ni jedna ljubav nije sretna" paint a picture of a bleak, hopeless world where everyone is fending for themselves and no one is truly happy.
Overall, "Sami" is a poignant and deeply introspective song about the difficulties of finding meaningful connection in a world that often seems indifferent and lonely.

Skriven u utrobi dolazim sebi
I am finding myself hidden within my own thoughts
Kući se vraćaš umorna
You come home tired
Ljubav je nova riječ, čak i kad blijedi
Love is a new word, even when it fades
Što da se lažemo, navika
Let's face it, it's just a habit
'Ko mi to poruke šalje?
Who's sending me messages?
Zar tako moramo dalje, ti i ja?
Do we really have to go on like this, you and I?
Sami smo na svjetu, izgleda
It seems like we're alone in this world
Sami, ti i ja
Alone, just you and me
Volim te najviše, najviše voliš
I love you the most, and you love me the most
Dodir sa onim što već znaš
Touching what you already know
Kad imaš razlog da okreneš leđa
When you have a reason to turn your back
Izbor se uvijek javi sam
The choice always presents itself
Kroz mene gledaš dok pričaš
You look through me while you're talking
Nekog u mislima skidaš, skidam i ja
You are taking someone out of your mind, and I am doing the same
Pencilin napada frižider,vrijeme prolazi
The penicillin is attacking the fridge, time is passing
Niti gdje idemo, nit' nam 'ko dolazi.
Neither do we know where we're going, nor does anyone come to us
Peći se gase, svako je za se
The fires are dying out, everyone is on their own
Pjevaju mase o tome da ni jedna ljubav nije sretna.
The crowds sing about how no love is happy.

Sjecam se ja. Trazim ime izviđača. Samo je refren isti u ovoj pjesmi.
Glasi: Kad mi u snove dodjes tiho,
I stanes tu na vratima,
Kazem dobro dosla kuci
I nema razloga da brinem.
I trazim taksi da me vrati,
Il' odveze bilo kud.
U mojim mislima su sati,
Kad smo kao stranci
Gledali se prvi put.
Sami smo na svijetu
Izgleda
Sami ti i ja
Sami smo na svijetu...

Baš dobro. Nije ovo sarajevski pop rok, ovo je posebna škola, samo njihova.

Kad god bih da se prisetim
emocija koje su me nekad održavale živom, odslušam ovu pesmu kao podsetnik da su nam duše i dalje jedno, pa iako nismo zajedno. :)

Pretuzno... Istinito. I hiljadu puta da slusam i u kojoj god godini, savrseno. Cista poezija...
