Slobodan Salijevic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nema vise meseca
Nema tebe nema mene
Niceg vise nema joj
Pokriva nas ratna tama
Pokriva nas tama joj
A ja se pitam moja draga
Mesecina mesecina
Joj joj joj joj
Sunce sija ponoc bije
Joj joj joj joj
Sa nebesa zaproklija
Niko ne zna niko ne zna
Niko ne zna niko ne zna
Niko ne zna sta to sija
The lyrics of Slobodan Salijevic's song "Mesecina" or "Moonlight" describe a bleak, post-war landscape where the sun and moon have disappeared, leaving behind a darkness that covers everything. The singer laments the absence of his beloved and wonders what the future holds for them in this war-torn world. The repetition of the phrase "Nema vise" or "nothing left" emphasizes the sense of loss and hopelessness that pervades the song.
The refrain of "Mesecina" is haunting and memorable, with the singer calling out the word "joi" several times as if to express his sorrow more deeply. The juxtaposition of the moon shining brightly while darkness dominates the land is a powerful symbol of the contradictions that often appear in times of conflict. The final lines, "Sa nebesa zaproklija, Niko ne zna sta to sija," suggest that something unexpected and perhaps miraculous is happening above, but the singer cannot comprehend its meaning.
Overall, "Mesecina" is a poignant song that reflects the human toll of war and the longing for connection and hope in a world that seems devoid of both.

There is no more Sun, there is no more Moon.
There is no you, and there is no me, there is nothing more, oh!
Darkness of War covered us,
Darkness covered us, oh!
And I am asking myself, o my darling,
What will happen' with us?

No one knows what is shining!!] 2X
