Mesecina Moonlight
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
Sta ce biti sa nama?
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 the song "Mesecina" by Slobodan Salijevic describe a world without light, both literally and figuratively. The singer laments the lack of sun and moon, but also the absence of his partner - "Nema tebe, nema mene." The darkness that surrounds them is marked as "ratna tama," or war darkness, suggesting a feeling of hopelessness and desperation. In the midst of this darkness, the singer wonders about the future of their relationship: "Sta ce biti sa nama?" However, amidst all this despair, there is still the soft light of the moon shining, representing a small glimmer of hope.
The repeated refrain of "Mesecina, mesecina" highlights the importance of this symbol in the song - the moon becomes a focal point amidst the darkness. However, the uncertainty of the situation is also emphasized through the repetition of "niko ne zna" - no one knows what will happen. The final line, "Niko ne zna sta to sija," adds a layer of mystery to the song's ending - what exactly is shining from the heavens?
This song is a poignant reflection on the effects of war on personal relationships and the feelings of uncertainty and hopelessness that can arise in such situations.
