"Prošli su mi vozovi" (Serbian Cyrillic: "Прошли су ми возови", lit. "The trains had passed me by") is a song written and performed by prominent Serb war singer Baja Mali Knindža.

Music and lyrics

The song's overall mood is sadness. The protagonist of this song turned to alcohol and lost all of his friends, because he couldn't find a lover and is now stuck in a hopeless circle of drinking in kafanas.

Music video

The video starts off with two men drinking in a kafana and then switches behind two girls, Baja, and other people talking. It then goes to Baja singing at the table. Before each chorus, video switches to one of two girls. After the chorus, it shows a girl, before switching to a scene where Baja comes down the stairs. During the verse, video switches to a scene of Baja in kafana, when he sings "Volim te budalo", the video changes to a woman lipsyncing this sentence. During the repetition of the chorus, the scene shifts to show "Kotobanja" and Baja pulling up there on a BMW E34. He appears very drunk and struggles to walk or to enter the doors. When he sings "Volim te budalo", the video changes to a closeup of woman lips saying it. The video ends with a single frame with two people standing in Kotobanja's doorway.

Lyrics

Lyrics: Prošli su mi vozovi, nisam u fazonu. Ja još uvek čekam na istom peronu. Rakijom se trujem, a nade nimalo; Hteo bih da čujem: "Volim te, budalo". Cele noći lutam ja po kafanama. Ostaviću srce, znam, lepim ženama. Cele noći lutam ja po kafanama. Što sam im'o dao sam lepim ženama. I vino je gorko meni postalo, Od ljubavi naše ništa nije ostalo. Rakijom se trujem, a nade nimalo; Hteo bih da čujem: "Volim te, budalo". Cele noći lutam ja po kafanama. Ostaviću srce, znam, lepim ženama. Cele noći lutam ja po kafanama. Što sam im'o dao sam lepim ženama. Imao sam nekad prijatelja dosta, Sad mi samo čaša, drug jedini osta. Rakijom se trujem, a nade nimalo; Hteo bih da čujem: "Volim te, budalo". Cele noći lutam ja po kafanama. Ostaviću srce, znam, lepim ženama. Cele noći lutam ja po kafanama. Što sam im'o dao sam lepim ženama.

Lyrics (English): The trains had passed me by, I'm not in the mood I'm still waiting on the same platform I poison myself with Rakija, there is no hope left I want to hear "I love you, fool" Every night I'm roaming around kafanas I know I will leave my heart to beautiful women Every night I'm roaming around kafanas I gave everything I had to beautiful women Even wine is now bitter to me Our love has no remains I poison myself with Rakija, there is no hope left I want to hear "I love you, fool" Every night I'm roaming around kafanas I know I will leave my heart to beautiful women Every night I'm roaming around kafanas I gave everything I had to beautiful women At some point I had a lot of friends. Now I only have a glass, my only friend Every night I'm roaming around kafanas I gave everything I had to beautiful women Every night I'm roaming around kafanas I know I will leave my heart to beautiful women Every night I'm roaming around kafanas I gave everything I had to beautiful women
