Knez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Da krenemo kada nema valova
U tebi jedna tajna skrivena
Kad utone ruka ispod jastuka
Neka vijetar slomi grane kad te izgubim
Nek ova pjesma stane pa da poludim
Tebi dajem sve i zato vjeruj mi
U nama sve je isto ostalo
Za sreæu je tako malo trebalo
Neka vijetar slomi grane kad te izgubim
Nek ova pjesma stane pa da poludim
Tebi dajem sve i zato vjeruj mi
Svi nek odlaze a ti ostani, ostani.
The song "Ostani" by Knez appears to be a love song that speaks about the importance of staying with the one you love. The song begins with the line "In me, there are thousands of reasons to start when there are no waves," which may suggest that the singer has a lot of motivation to move forward in his relationship, even when things are calm. The next line "In you, there is a hidden secret when the hand sinks under the pillow" implies that the person he is singing to may have secrets or fears that she is hiding from him, and he is willing to support her even when she doesn't want to speak about them.
The chorus of the song reinforces the idea of staying together, even when things get tough. The singer says that if he loses the person he loves, he will be shattered, and the song must end, but he gives everything to her and therefore expects her to stay. The verses then continue to affirm that despite everything, the love between them remains the same, and it only takes a little bit of happiness to keep them going.
Overall, "Ostani" appears to be a passionate love song about staying together even when everything seems to be falling apart. It is a reminder of the value of relationships and the importance of being there for the ones you love.

U meni hiljadu je razloga
Within me, there are thousands of reasons
Da krenemo kada nema valova
To start when there are no waves
U tebi jedna tajna skrivena
Within you, there is one secret hidden
Kad utone ruka ispod jastuka
When the hand sinks under the pillow
Neka vijetar slomi grane kad te izgubim
Let the wind break the branches when I lose you
Nek ova pjesma stane pa da poludim
Let this song end, or else I'll go crazy
Tebi dajem sve i zato vjeruj mi
I give you everything, so believe me
Svi nek odlaze a ti ostani, ostani.
Let everyone else leave, but you stay, stay.
U nama sve je isto ostalo
In us, everything has remained the same
Za sreæu je tako malo trebalo
It took so little to create happiness
Neka vijetar slomi grane kad te izgubim
Let the wind break the branches when I lose you
Nek ova pjesma stane pa da poludim
Let this song end, or else I'll go crazy
Tebi dajem sve i zato vjeruj mi
I give you everything, so believe me
Svi nek odlaze a ti ostani, ostani.
Let everyone else leave, but you stay, stay.

Ove stvari nikad ostariti neće!!!!! Mada ovo je više od " stvari ", ovo je umjetnost od neprocjenjive vrijednosti. Bratina Knez, uvjek sam ga volio i vidjeti i slušati. Car !
