Tifa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jedna mala pjegava, plava
Ne da mi mira
Kad je sretnem
Hoce nesto da mi da

Kad je pitam sto bi mi dala
Nece da kaze
Samo klimne glavom

Kao da bi dala sve

Idi mala, idi sto prije
Jos si mlada, vrijeme ti nije
Bjezi mala prije no
Sto padne noc

Ref. 4x
Sve ove godine
Dala bi za jednu noc

Al' mene nikad ne bi imala
Jer ja moram drugoj poc'

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to TIFA's song "Sve Ove Godine" describe the singer's encounter with a young, freckled, blonde girl who doesn't give him any peace of mind. Every time he meets her, she wants to give him something, but won't say what it is. When he asks her, she just nods her head as if she would give him everything. Despite her advances, the singer knows that he cannot be with her because he is committed to another woman. He advises her to go away as soon as possible and not waste her time with him.

The lyrics are making a statement about the temptations and distractions that can come our way in life, and how difficult it is to resist them. The "pjegava, plava" girl could represent any type of enticement, be it a person, an addiction or a lifestyle. Although the singer is tempted by her, he ultimately chooses loyalty and values his relationship with someone else more.

Overall, "Sve Ove Godine" is a cautionary tale about the importance of staying true to yourself and your commitments, even when faced with temptation.
