Mi plačemo iza tamnih naočara

Mi plačemo iza tamnih naočara (trans. We Cry Behind Dark Glasses) is the first and only studio album by the Yugoslav post-punk/darkwave band Dobri Isak, released in 1984.

The album was originally released on compact cassette and with a limited printing of a hundred copies only, rapidly sold out and became a collector's item. In 2009 the album was re-released by PMK Records with seven bonus tracks of unreleased material, bringing to the band new attention from the audience and recognition from the music critics in Serbia and other former Yugoslav republics.
