Ko Se S' Nama Druzi
This is a happy tune about having a good time through song. It almost treats songs as an entity unto itself in that the song wants to be sung. Songs help to take away your sadness…especially when sung with your friends.
Of course, the song goes further to note that singing with your friends should include some fine wine and that it should be flowing liberally.
And of course, the song also turns to love as the last verse deals with the girls and boys not listening to their mothers and fathers, and encouraging them to love each other while they are still young.
The chorus, which reflects on the song’s title states that those who chum around with us will have a longer life and those who drink with us, will never be bored.
It’s a song heard at many Serbian festivities and was, and still is quite popular
