tango
Vatra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
kroz najprometnije ceste
jedan tango kroz crveno
tamo gdje nitko ne bi plesao
na vrhu Hendrixovog mosta
i to mi ne bi bilo dosta
Mi bi se drzali za vodove
na krovu 14ice, sijevale bi iskrice
gorko, slatko, kao tango
crno i crveno, stani mi na prste
odgrizi mi usne
Zavrtio bi s tobom
piruete niz petlje
da nas nikad ne odmrse
plesom razbijali bi izloge
gradu ponestalo bi stakla
Samo mi stani na prste, odgrizi mi usne
gorko, slatko, kao tango
crno i crveno, stani mi na prste
odgrizi mi usne
Licem uz lice, za naklon je prerano
sve ovo jos jednom ponovit bi trebalo
gledaj me u oci, gledaj me
Samo mi stani na prste, odgrizi mi usne
gorko, slatko, kao tango
crno i crveno, stani mi na prste
odgrizi mi usne
In "Tango," Vatra sings about dancing with someone through the busiest streets, taking a risk by dancing on a red light, and dancing in unusual places. The lyrics describe the desire to dance passionately with one's partner, in defiance of societal norms and expectations. The singer even suggests dancing on the rooftops, holding onto electrical wires, and breaking store windows with their dance. The lyrics evoke a sense of rebellion and recklessness, but also a deep connection between the two dancers. The repeated lines "Samo mi stani na prste, odgrizi mi usne" (Just stand on my toes, bite my lips) suggest an intense physical and emotional connection between the two dancers.
The song's central image of the tango is used metaphorically to represent the intensity of the relationship between the two dancers. The tango is a dance that is often associated with passion and sensuality, and the lyrics describe the desire to dance a tango that is both "sweet" and "bitter." The colors "black" and "red" are also used to represent the intensity of the dance, with the dancers risking everything to dance together.

Plesao bih s tobom
I would love to dance with you
kroz najprometnije ceste
On the busiest streets
jedan tango kroz crveno
We would dance a tango through a red light
tamo gdje nitko ne bi plesao
Where nobody else would dare to dance
na vrhu Hendrixovog mosta
On the top of the Hendrix bridge
i to mi ne bi bilo dosta
And that would still not be enough for me
Mi bi se drzali za vodove
We would hold onto the cables
na krovu 14ice, sijevale bi iskrice
On top of 14 building, sparks would fly
Samo mi stani na prste, odgrizi mi usne
Stand on your toes, bite my lips
gorko, slatko, kao tango
Bitter and sweet, like a tango
crno i crveno, stani mi na prste
Black and red, stand on your toes for me
odgrizi mi usne
Bite my lips
Zavrtio bi s tobom
I would spin with you
piruete niz petlje
Doing pirouettes down the loops
da nas nikad ne odmrse
So that we never untangle
plesom razbijali bi izloge
Dancing would break storefronts
gradu ponestalo bi stakla
The city would run out of glass
Licem uz lice, za naklon je prerano
Face to face, it's too early for a bow
sve ovo jos jednom ponovit bi trebalo
We should repeat all of this one more time
gledaj me u oci, gledaj me
Look me in the eyes, look at me
