Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ja nisam Romeo
nocas sam nesto
gadno pojeo
Lepo pricas
lepo hodas
slatka mala, nemoj
lako da se prodas
Ref.
Zato kreni, kreni prema meni
zato kreni, kreni prema meni
kreni, kreni prema meni
Mozes da lajes
mozes da rezis
mozes da ostanes
a mozes i da bezis
Bez duse si niko
bez duse si nista
kupujes, prodajes
oduzimas i dodajes

The lyrics to Partibrejkers's song Kreni prema meni are full of images of failed love, insecurity, and desperation. The opening lines "Ti nisi Julija, ja nisam Romeo, nocas sam nesto gadno pojeo" (You're not Juliet, I'm not Romeo, tonight I ate something awful) set the tone for a relationship that is far from perfect. The singer is trying to convince someone to come closer to him, despite their flaws and differences, with the repeated refrain "zato kreni, kreni prema meni" (so come, come to me).
The verses contain a mix of compliments and warnings, with the singer telling their object of affection that they speak and walk nicely, but also cautioning them not to sell themselves too easily. The second verse adds more complexity, with the singer saying that their potential partner can bark or snarl, stay or go, but that they are nobody without a soul, only buying and selling and adding and subtracting.
Overall, the song shows a desperate need for connection, even if it means accepting imperfection and differences. The repeated refrain is like a plea, and the imagery of buying and selling and lacking a soul add a layer of cynicism to the desire for love.
