: The story ends with a wish for her happiness, but a firm refusal to return to the way things were. Asim Bajrić – Zašto plačeš Lyrics - Genius

The song "Zašto plačeš" (Why Are You Crying), released in 2009 by Bosnian folk singer Asim Bajrić, tells a story of pride, heartbreak, and the cold reality of a love that has ended.

The lyrics describe a chance encounter between two former lovers. When the narrator sees the woman again, she begins to cry, but rather than offering comfort, he questions the sincerity of her tears after she was the one who chose to leave. The Encounter

: He tells her he is glad she sees him this way so she can finally understand how she "plays with other people's lives" when she chooses to walk away.

: The narrator tries to remain strong and unemotional even though he is hurt.

Instead of a sentimental reunion, the narrator uses the moment to confront her about the past:

: He wants the woman to face the emotional consequences of her decision to leave him.

: 2009 (from the album Best Of or Asim Bajrić 2009 ) Genre : Bosnian Folk / Pop-Folk Composers : Perica Zdravković and Milanko Ćirović
