"Dva kofera" (Serbian Cyrillic: Два кофера, lit. "Two Suitcases") is a song performed by prominent war singer, Baja Mali Knindža. It first appeared in Igraju se delije and was covered by folk singer Jovan Perišić in the 2001 album Sve ću da razbijem with slightly altered lyrics. Both versions are written and composed by Baja.

Music and lyrics

The original 1995 version of the song is about a man who must leave his homeland in Krajina. With only two suitcases to his name, he leaves to parts unknown. The 2001 version omits any and all references to the war to reflect the current time period. Instead of being about someone who is displaced as a result of the breakup of Yugoslavia, it is about someone who is displaced as a result of a breakup in a relationship.

Lyrics

Original Version:

Lyrics: Ne pitaj me što sam tužan I što noćas nemam sna Stavio sam čitav život U dva kofera   Nemam nikoga Sam sam ostao Ranjeno je moje Srce krajiško   Ne pitaj me što sam tužan Što suza u oku sja Plače nebo nad Krajinom Plače Dinara   Nemam nikoga Sam sam ostao Ranjeno je moje Srce krajiško   Ne pitaj me što sam tužan Što noćima nemam sna Zavičaja više nemam Nemam ognjišta   Nemam nikoga Sam sam ostao Ranjeno je moje Srce krajiško

Lyrics (English): Don't ask me why I'm sad And why I don't sleep at night I put my entire life In two suitcases I don't have anyone I'm left alone It's wounded My Krajinian heart Don't ask me why I'm sad Why a tear shines in my eye The sky above Krajina cries The Dinara cries I don't have anyone I'm left alone It's wounded My Krajinian heart Don't ask me why I'm sad Why I can't sleep at night I don't have a birthplace anymore I don't have a hearth I don't have anyone I'm left alone It's wounded My Krajinian heart

2001 Version:

Lyrics: Ne pitaj me što sam tužan Zašto noćas nemam sna Ceo život stavio sam U dva kofera Nemam nikoga, Sam sam ostao Ranjena mi duša, Srce slomljeno Ne pitaj me što sam tužan Što suza u oku sja Ja sam bio srećan čovek, A sad skitnica Nemam nikoga, Sam sam ostao Ranjena mi duša, Srce slomljeno Ne pitaj me što sam tužan Što noćima pijem ja Nestala je jedna ljubav, Ljubav velika Nemam nikoga, Sam sam ostao Ranjena mi duša, Srce slomljeno

Lyrics (English): Don't ask me why I'm sad And why I don't sleep at night I put my entire life In two suitcases I don't have anyone I'm left alone My soul is wounded My heart broken Don't ask me why I'm sad Why a tear shines in my eye I once was a happy man And now a drifter I don't have anyone I'm left alone My soul is wounded My heart broken Don't ask me why I'm sad And why I drink these nights One love ceased A big love I don't have anyone I'm left alone My soul is wounded My heart broken
