Sanjaš li negdje u svetu,
Toneš li u zelene sjene,
Slušaš li pjesmu sirene?
Ponekad čujem stari šapat
Kao da more opet diše.

Malena, ljubim te
Dok te ne operu kiše.

Bila sam dijete i bajka,
Tvoja želja, tvoja tajna,
Tvoja želja, sudbina sjajna.
Ponekad čujem stari šapat
Kao da more opet diše.

Malena, ljubim te
Dok te ne operu kiše.

Malena, ljubim te
Dok te ne operu kiše.

Mada nisam znala da li se bojimo
Ili u zrcalu tražimo,
A rijeke su se slile.
Uzeo si najljepše snove o kakvima
Nikada nitko sanjati neće nikada više.

Malena, ljubim te
Dok te ne operu kiše.

Malena, ljubim te
Dok te ne operu kiše.

Malena, ljubim te
Dok te ne operu kiše.

Malena, ljubim te
Dok te ne operu kiše.

Malena, ljubim te
Dok te ne operu kiše.

Malena, ljubim te
Dok te ne operu kiše.

Malena, ljubim te
Dok te ne operu kiše.

Malena, ljubim te
Dok te ne operu kiše.

Malena, ljubim te
Dok te ne operu kiše.

Malena, ljubim te
Dok te ne operu kiše.

The use of the name "Malena" as a term of endearment creates a sense of intimacy, while the repetition of the line "I love you until the rains wash you away" emphasizes the vulnerability and impermanence of love.

The song also touches on themes of childhood and memory, as the singer reflects on their past relationship with Malena and the dreams they shared. The line "I was a child and a fairy tale, your desire, your secret" suggests a sense of innocence and wonder, while the reference to the "old whisper" and the sound of the sea breathing evoke a sense of nostalgia for a lost time.
