In tisočkrat me premakneJe večje od mene, nad mano sedi.Še tisočkrat me premakne iz mesta na mesto,Kjer redko, če sploh kdo stoji.Vozi me, pelje me, gleda, usmerja meV svoji me smeri drži.Dober den, to sen jaz,Ne vem kdo si ti.
The text can be interpreted through several layers of existential thought: Samo Budna-Dober den
The song (Good Day) by Slovenian singer-songwriter Samo Budna is a soulful, acoustic-driven track that explores themes of identity, existential isolation, and the relentless passage of time. Released on his 2009 solo debut album, Manj je več (Less is More), the lyrics reflect a search for meaning while feeling "steered" by forces beyond one's control. Full Lyrics (Slovenian) In tisočkrat me premakneJe večje od mene, nad mano sedi
In tisočkrat me prime za vrat,Ko ravnotežje lovim.Še tisočkrat je premalo,Mi zleze pod kožo,Se tam zadrži.Vozi me, hoče me, gleda, usmerja me,Roke nad mano drži.Dober den, to sen jaz,Ne vem kdo si ti. Full Lyrics (Slovenian) In tisočkrat me prime za
Samo Budna’s style is deeply rooted in the , often incorporating violin and acoustic guitar to create an authentic, "storytelling" atmosphere. While the music often sounds warm and inviting, the lyrics—frequently written in collaboration with poet Feri Lainšček —tend toward melancholy and deep introspection.

: The repeating motif "Vozi me, pelje me... v svoji me smeri drži" (It drives me, it leads me... it keeps me in its direction) suggests a life governed by routine, fate, or societal expectations. The narrator feels like a passenger in his own existence, moved from place to place by a force "bigger" than himself.
: The central chorus, "Dober den, to sen jaz / ne vem kdo si ti" (Good day, this is me / I don't know who you are), highlights a profound sense of isolation. Even when greeting others, there is a wall of anonymity and a lack of true connection, emphasizing the loneliness inherent in the modern human experience.
