Ostani
Dejan Matic Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Onoga dana kada sam te sreo
Znao sam bićeš mi za život ceo
Ta rana što se nikad ne leči
I ruke da mi vežu lance kidam
I tebe da mi brane ja ne pitam
I plaćam cenu ove ljubavi

Pa sa nekim društvom lošim

Kradem dane, vreme trošim
Zna kafana da me uteši

Ostani, ostani
Noćas mi društvo pravi
Ruku mi svoju daj
Da je kraj srca stavim
Tu sam te sakrio
Ma da svi znaju
Da si ti moja ljubav

Ostani, ostani
Još noćas da te gledam
Život me ne voli
Kad mi najdražu mi ne da
Kada te zagrlim
Neka se srce polomi
Da drugu nikad ne volim

Otkad si rekla da nas više nema
Probudila si tugu koja drema
Pa mi se sada noću ne spava
Pusta mi želja da kraj tebe starim
A tužan čovek svaku sreću kvari
Moja je sreća s tobom ostala

Pa sa nekim društvom lošim
Kradem dane, vreme trošim
Zna kafana da me uteši

Ostani, ostani
Noćas mi društvo pravi
Ruku mi svoju daj
Da je kraj srca stavim
Tu sam te sakrio
Ma da svi znaju
Da si ti moja ljubav

Ostani, ostani
Još noćas da te gledam
Život me ne voli
Kad mi najdražu mi ne da
Kada te zagrlim
Neka se srce polomi
Da drugu nikad ne volim

Ostani, ostani
Noćas mi društvo pravi
Ruku mi svoju daj
Da je kraj srca stavim
Tu sam te sakrio
Ma da svi znaju
Da si ti moja ljubav

Ostani, ostani
Još noćas da te gledam
Život me ne voli
Kad mi najdražu mi ne da
Kada te zagrlim

Neka se srce polomi
Da drugu nikad ne volim

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dejan Matic's song Ostani are about a man who has met the love of his life and knows that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. He describes how the love they share is like a wound that will never heal and that he would do anything to keep her. He talks about how he spends his time with bad company and how only the comfort of the bar can even begin to soothe his heartache. He begs her to stay with him for just one more night, to let him hold her and look into her eyes before life tears them apart. He says that he would rather have his heartbreak and suffer than to ever love another again.

The lyrics evoke a strong sense of longing and heartache. The song deals with themes of love, loss, and the lengths we will go to hold onto someone we love. The repetition of the chorus, "Ostani, ostani" (Stay, stay), emphasizes the singer's desperation and his desire to make the most of the little time he has left with the woman he loves.

Line by Line Meaning

Onoga dana kada sam te sreo
From the very day I first met you

Znao sam bićeš mi za život ceo
I knew you would be everything to me, my life partner

Ta rana što se nikad ne leči
That wound that never heals

I ruke da mi vežu lance kidam
Even if my hands are tied, I'll break free

I tebe da mi brane ja ne pitam
I won't ask anyone's permission to be with you

I plaćam cenu ove ljubavi
I will pay any price for this love

Pa sa nekim društvom lošim
So, with some bad company

Kradem dane, vreme trošim
I waste my days, wasting time

Zna kafana da me uteši
Only the tavern can give me comfort

Ostani, ostani
Stay, stay with me

Noćas mi društvo pravi
Tonight, keep me company
