Verse 1

Vozimo za Dugopolje
Lito ulazi u zenit
Gledamo kuda je bolje
Svaka vena se crveni Autu triba ulit benzin
ENC-u triba nadoplata
Mašem sa ENC-om ka' debil
Zato šta ga slabo 'vata Nismo došli ni do Zadra
Šajba puna insekata
Jareb ga mota dok vozi
Ja se držim rukohvata Ako ovaj album flopne
Nema više koncerata
Mali čita Lego prospekt
Kupit ćeš mi ovo tata Ženi treba novi laptop
Neki bolje kvalitete
Pitam je šta fali našem laptopu iz dvi tisuće pete

In this first verse, Vojko gives a snapshot of a road trip. He paints a lively picture with details about driving, the summer heat, and the chaos of the journey. There’s a sense of camaraderie as he rides with friends, yet there’s also this underlying anxiety about his career. He’s worried about how his new album will do, hinting that a flop could end his concerts. It’s a mix of light-hearted moments, like driving with bugs on the windshield, and serious thoughts about life’s responsibilities and expectations.

Chorus

Evo me opet, dolazim
Vraćam se tebi ja
Evo me opet, dolazim
Vraćam se tebi
Vraćam se tebi

The chorus is catchy and repetitive, emphasizing Vojko's return. It feels like a declaration of presence, a way of saying he’s back in the game and reconnecting with his audience. The repetition reflects a longing for familiarity and the comfort of returning to something he knows well. It’s simple but effective, reminding listeners that despite the ups and downs, he’s still here.

Verse 2

Vraćamo se priko Lučkog
Gužva je do Svetog Roka
Zgužvan sam i ja ružno
Nisam sklopia ni oka Obeća' sam sebi da neću
Al' opet sam upa' u program
Kad se sitim šta sam priča'
Napravim facu ka' Miki Čortan Kad neko me tagira
Neću ni pogledat šta je na slici
Masu sam nadrkan i sve me nervira
Masu sam umoran ka' da sam Stavros Reperski život za psihu je opasan
Ponekad pari da hodam po žici
Padnem li desno postaću dosadan
Padnem li livo postat ću alkos

In this verse, Vojko continues to share his journey, but this time he dives deeper into his feelings. He’s exhausted and frustrated with the pressures of fame and social media. There’s a sense of being overwhelmed and the struggle with maintaining his identity while facing outside expectations. The mention of walking a tightrope symbolizes the delicate balance he tries to maintain, hinting at the dangers of falling into bad habits or losing himself.

Chorus

Evo me opet, dolazim
Vraćam se tebi ja
Evo me opet, dolazim
Vraćam se tebi
Vraćam se tebi

The chorus returns, reinforcing that core theme of returning to his roots and seeking comfort. It’s a moment of reassurance for both him and his listeners. The repetition makes it feel almost like a mantra, grounding him in the chaos that surrounds him.

Bridge

Zaspem i budim se ne razumim ništa ne razumim niti di sam
Došli smo na Dugopolje
I odma' se osjećam bolje

The bridge captures a moment of confusion and disorientation, which many can relate to. Waking up and feeling lost mirrors the struggles of daily life, especially for someone in the spotlight. However, as soon as he arrives in Dugopolje, there’s a shift. The familiarity of the place brings him comfort, hinting that sometimes returning home can be the best remedy.

Outro

Evo me opet, dolazim
Vraćam se tebi ja
Evo me opet, dolazim
Vraćam se tebi
Vraćam se tebi

The outro mirrors the chorus, emphasizing the cyclical nature of the song. It drives home the message of returning, both to his audience and to himself. It feels like a closing chapter, but also a promise that he’ll keep coming back, no matter the challenges.
