Anđelina
Thompson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Zvali su je dio neba,
a u njega nikad ni ne gleda.
Dodir joj je kao plamen
koji kaže "želim da te imam".

Želim da mi piješ usne
kao vino tijelom i dušom,
vito tilo činilo bi čuda,

sva posada za tobom je luda.

Ref. x2
Anđelina, vrati se u naš kvart,
o, Bože, pusti nas da letimo kao nekad.

Pogledom bi rekla šta bi htjela,
glasnice ne bi trošila,
o toj curi mog'o bih da pričam
kao otac sva prokleta štiva.

Slika mi je pred očima,
o, sudbino, pusti da uživam,
želio bih da odem sve do neba,
gdje je moja Anđelina.

Ref. x6

Kao nekad, kao nekad

Overall Meaning

"Anđelina" is a love song by Croatian band Thompson. The lyrics of the song are about a woman who is referred to as a part of heaven, but she never notices it. Her touch is like fire, and it says "I want to have you". The singer of the song wants the woman to drink his lips like wine with her body and soul. He believes that if he had her, all the crew would go crazy about her. The chorus of the song repeats the name "Anđelina" six times and ends with a plea to return to their hood and allowing them to fly again like they used to.

The song is full of metaphors that speak to the depth of love and affection the singer has for Anđelina. The lyrics suggest that the singer of the song loves the woman not just with his physical being but also his soul. The song is passionate yet tender, and the story can be read as a nostalgic yearning for a lost love.

Line by Line Meaning

Zvali su je dio neba,
They called her a part of heaven,

a u njega nikad ni ne gleda.
And she never even looks at him.

Dodir joj je kao plamen
Her touch is like fire,

koji kaže "želim da te imam".
That says "I want to have you".

Želim da mi piješ usne
I want you to drink my lips

kao vino tijelom i dušom,
Like wine with your body and soul,

vito tilo činilo bi čuda,
The wind body would work wonders,

sva posada za tobom je luda.
All the crew is crazy about you.

Anđelina, vrati se u naš kvart,
Anđelina, come back to our neighborhood,

o, Bože, pusti nas da letimo kao nekad.
Oh, God, let us fly like we used to.

Pogledom bi rekla šta bi htjela,
With a glance, she would say what she wanted,
