Šej kurve is about a woman's infidelity and the suffering it causes her partner. He complains that now he must die because of her.
Musical transcription based on the booklet accompanying the CD Amare gila - Unsere Lieder / Our Songs
Šej kurve belongs to the neve gila, the new songs, and is popular among the Lovara. It tells of a woman's infidelity from a man's perspective. The man laments his suffering and reminds her of their children. He feels deathly ill from the pain.
Ruža Nikolić-Lakatos and Mišo Nikolić perform Šej kurve at a Lovari party at the Nikolić family home in 1993. The guests sing and snap along, bringing the song to life. The melody is popular and well-known. The recording reflects the exuberant and relaxed atmosphere of the party, where the music is in the foreground.
