Musically, the track is a hallmark of the "novokomponovana" (newly composed) folk style of the early 1980s, featuring traditional accordion arrangements and soulful vocals characteristic of the Diskos label era. While often played at celebrations, the song's underlying sadness resonates deeply with the diaspora and those who feel a disconnect from their roots.

Žica Marković remains a respected figure in folk music for his ability to convey authentic emotion without over-sensationalism. You can still find his work on platforms like Spotify and YouTube , where listeners continue to comment on the song's "soul" and its accurate portrayal of the quiet tragedy of a dying village.
