Ima nešto vrijednije od zlata
Thompson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Na srce mi noćas tiha slutnja pala
Da me voliš reci bar jednom na dan
A ja ću reći, vjerujem ti mala
Nikad nećeš znati, koliko mi znači
Kad si pored mene, zajedno smo jači
Sve je više tužnih bura i oluja
Ima nešto vrijednije od zlata
To su tvoje ruke oko moga vrata
Ima nešto što u tami blista
To je naša ljubav, iskrena i čista
Iskrena i čista
Nikad nećeš znati, koliko mi znači
Kad si pored mene, zajedno smo jači
Sve je više tužnih bura i oluja
A sve manje ljudi i slavuja
Ima nešto vrijednije od zlata
To su tvoje ruke oko moga vrata
Ima nešto što u tami blista
To je naša ljubav, iskrena i čista
Iskrena i čista
Ima nešto vrijednije od zlata
To su tvoje ruke oko moga vrata
Ima nešto što u tami blista
To je naša ljubav, iskrena i čista
Iskrena i čista
Iskrena i čista
Iskrena i čista
Iskrena i čista
Iskrena i čista
In the first paragraph of the lyrics of Thompson's song "Ima nešto vrijednije od zlata," the singer reflects on how certain thoughts disturb their sleep, hinting at a quiet intuition that their love interest might indeed love them. There is a desire for verbal affirmation, a simple declaration of love at least once a day, which the singer is willing to reciprocate with a belief in the love expressed by the other person.
The second paragraph delves into the emotional depth and significance of the presence of the loved one. The lyrics emphasize the strengthening effect of being together and the comfort found in their companionship. The imagery shifts to a symbolic depiction of an increasing number of sad storms and tempests juxtaposed with a decreasing presence of people and nightingales, possibly symbolizing challenges and solitude they face but overcome together.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the theme that there is something more valuable than gold, which is the embrace of the loved one's hands around the singer's neck. This concrete and physical connection is portrayed as precious and glowing even in darkness. The lyrics further highlight that this value lies in their genuine and pure love, reinforcing the idea that real love is a rare and priceless treasure.
Repeating the chorus and the ending of the song reaffirms the sentiment of the previous verses, continuing to stress the immeasurable worth of the intimate gesture of holding each other, the radiant quality of their love even in difficult times, and the purity of their bond. The repetition brings a sense of consistency and conviction to the message of the song, underscoring the enduring strength and authenticity of their love. Overall, the lyrics of "Ima nešto vrijednije od zlata" by Thompson encapsulate themes of love, affirmation, resilience, and the preciousness of genuine connection.

Opet misli neke trgaju mi san
Once again, certain thoughts disturb my sleep
Na srce mi noćas tiha slutnja pala
Tonight, a quiet foreboding fell upon my heart
Da me voliš reci bar jednom na dan
Tell me you love me at least once a day
A ja ću reći, vjerujem ti mala
And I will say, I believe you my dear
Nikad nećeš znati, koliko mi znači
You will never know how much it means to me
Kad si pored mene, zajedno smo jači
When you are by my side, we are stronger together
Sve je više tužnih bura i oluja
There are more sad storms and tempests
A sve manje ljudi i slavuja
And fewer people and nightingales
Ima nešto vrijednije od zlata
There is something more valuable than gold
To su tvoje ruke oko moga vrata
It's your hands around my neck
Ima nešto što u tami blista
There is something that shines in the darkness
To je naša ljubav, iskrena i čista
It is our love, sincere and pure
Iskrena i čista
Sincere and pure
