Lidija
The sixth track from the 1988 album 'Dajte mi dajte bure vina'. A cheerful rock song about a chance encounter at the Zagreb train station.
About the Track
“Lidija” is the sixth song from the debut album by Baron i Crna ovca. Unlike the more melancholic ballads on the album, this track features a more upbeat, narrative style describing a meeting between two young people in foggy Zagreb, characterized by the signature Sarajevo pop-rock sound.
Production and Recording
Recorded and mixed at the legendary “BLAP” Studio (Sarajevo) during June and July 1988 at the Skenderija Youth Center. The production was handled by Brano Likić, and the sound engineer was Zoran Šebedžija.
Lyrics (English Translation)
At the train station of foggy Zagreb
She was standing there with a suitcase in her hands
Some fool shouts something in passing
I walked up to him and said: “What’s up, jerk?”
She looked at me gratefully, I offered her some warm chestnuts
I took her to the nearest “Express” and ordered two lemon juices
She had honey-colored eyes, her name was Lidija and she was from Zagreb.
Hand in hand, a kiss on the street
Running through the station towards the train of the future.
Chorus:
You are me, and I am you, my Lidija
This night was made just for us
You are me, and I am you, my Lidija
This night was made just for us.
At the train station of foggy Zagreb
She was standing there with a suitcase in her hands
Some fool shouts something in passing
I walked up to him and said: “What’s up, jerk?”
She looked at me gratefully, I offered her some warm chestnuts
I took her to the nearest “Express” and ordered two lemon juices
She had honey-colored eyes, her name was Lidija and she was from Zagreb.
Hand in hand, a kiss on the street
Running through the station towards the train of the future.
Chorus (repetition):
You are me, and I am you, my Lidija
This night was made just for us
You are me, and I am you, my Lidija
This night was made just for us
You are me, and I am you, my Lidija
This night was made just for us
You are me, and I am you, my Lidija
This night was made just for us
You are me, and I am you, my Lidija
This night was made just for us.
