Sve smo mogli mi

Sve smo mogli mi da je duzi bio dan
Da si nasao za me malo vremena,
Sve smo mogli mi, da si samo htio ti
Biti njezan kao nekada.

Kako naci put koji vodi do tebe
Kako naci mir kad je svega nestalo,
Sve smo mogli mi, da si samo htio ti
Biti njezan kao nekada.

Nikoga nema u praznom gradu
Ulice moje korake kradu
I ja kao sjena sad lutam,
U tvome srcu padaju kise
I sve se nase polako brise
Iz svijeta tvog.

Sve smo mogli mi da je duzi bio dan
Da si nasao za me malo vremena,
Sve smo mogli mi, da si samo htio ti
Biti njezan kao nekada.


***

Born in Sarajevo to a family of primary school teachers (her father is from Doboj, her mother from Dalmatia), Jadranka's first years were spent in a small village near Bosanski Novi where her parents got assigned to teach.

Her parent soon divorced and she moved with her mother to Sarajevo, before soon continuing on to Dubrovnik, Gradac na Moru, Vareš, etc., basically places that experienced shortages of primary school teachers where her mother would get work. They eventually settled in various villages around Sarajevo, which is where Jadranka spent a notable part of her childhood.


At the age of 16, Jadranka Stojaković joined her uncle Vukašin Radulović's jazz group and performed with them throughout the country as well other parts of Europe (mostly Germany).

In 1981 she sang backing vocals with Ismeta Dervoz for Yugoslav representative Vajta at the 1981 Eurovision Contest in Ireland.

In 1984, when the Winter Olympics were held in her native Sarajevo, she sang the official theme song of the Games. Around that time, she was awarded the prize given to Yugoslavia's best artist. She was among the country's most talented and admired singers and songwriters.

Since 1988, Jadranka Stojaković mostly resides in Japan.
