Music video

"Ја сам несретан човек. Из мене црне мисли вире. Људи бих се рађали без главе да ја правим шешире..." - is the intro phrase.

(I am an unhappy man. Black thoughts swirl from me. People would be born without heads, I would make hats for them)

The video starts with a footage of a roulette spinning and chips being thrown on the table. Baja is smoking a cigarette and holding a drink. When he says "Gubim još jednu bitku" a tower of chips is being dropped. While he sings the chorus, a footage from a blackjack game is seen. When he sings "Pogrešnu mi kartu dala" he's being dealt a hand of 19, which is not bad. He keeps betting on between the verses. When he sings the last chorus, he points at the camera, and loses his last bet. The video ends with chips being simply dropped on the table.

Also, the lyrics don't really align with the video, he mostly sings about cards, yet the video is mostly roulette.

Lyrics

Lyrics: Ja se kockam sa tobom S tobom i sa životom Gubim još jednu bitku Opčinjen tvojom lepotom Kockar bez sreće, karta me neće Samo za poraze znam Putnik bez puta, čovek što luta Opet sam ostao sam Opet si mene izdala Devojko moja mala U zadnjem delenju, dušo Pogrešnu mi kartu dala Kockar bez sreće, karta me neće Samo za poraze znam Putnik bez puta, čovek što luta Opet sam ostao sam Opet sam za istim stolom O meni se priče vode Ulažem na keca herca Crna dama i sve ode Kockar bez sreće, karta me neće Samo za poraze znam Putnik bez puta, čovek što luta Opet sam ostao sam

Lyrics (English): I'm gambling with you With you and with life Losing yet another game Mesmerized by your beauty A gambler without luck, the card doesn't want me I only know defeat A traveler with no road, a human who wanders I'm alone again You betrayed me again My little girl In the last deal, darling You gave me the wrong card A gambler without luck, the card doesn't want me I only know defeat A traveler with no road, a human who wanders I'm alone again Again I'm at the same table Stories are told about me I bet on the ace of hearts Queen of spades — and everything is gone A gambler without luck, the card doesn't want me I only know defeat A traveler with no road, a human who wanders I'm alone again
