Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sinoc me neka mala
pogledom njezno zvala
da sa njom igram - pa sta (a ha)
Ti si u vatru pala
i ruke drugom dala
k'o da sam za to krivac ja (a ha)

Ti si za mene lijepa

a moja ljubav slijepa
i vise nisam znao sta (a ha)
Da li da mirno sjedim
il' s tobom jednom sredim
dosta je bilo igre te (e-he)

Mozes da igras sada
svoj zadnji rock & roll
i da se lose vladas
i da mi cinis bol
Samo ti jedno kazem
meni je dosta tog

vodim te svojoj kuci
pa tamo igraj rock.

Overall Meaning

The song "Igra" by Zdravko Colic revolves around a theme of betrayal in love. The singer talks about a girl who invites him to play with her, but he declines as he sees she has fallen for another man, and so he feels guilty as if he is responsible for the betrayal. Although he still feels a great deal of affection for her, he is aware that his love for her is blind, and so he is uncertain if he will stay silent or confront her about what has happened. The chorus provides a warning to the girl that she can continue to play with her last rock and roll and hurt him, but he has had enough and will take her home where she can continue to play her music.

The lyrics showcase the complex emotions when a person is betrayed by someone they love. The singer is torn between his love for the girl and his sense of responsibility for what happened. He is unsure if he should confront her about the betrayal or stay silent and deal with his pain alone. The chorus asserts the singer's strength by telling the girl that he will no longer be played with and that he will take control of the situation by taking her home and giving her a place to play her music.

Sinoc me neka mala
Last night a girl called me with a gentle glance

pogledom njezno zvala
Inviting me to come and play with her - so what?

da sa njom igram - pa sta (a ha)
That I should play with her - who cares?

Ti si u vatru pala
But you jumped into the fire

i ruke drugom dala
And gave your hands to someone else

k'o da sam za to krivac ja (a ha)
As if I'm to blame for that - yeah right

Ti si za mene lijepa
You are beautiful to me

a moja ljubav slijepa
But my love is blind

i vise nisam znao sta (a ha)
And I no longer knew what to do - yeah right

Da li da mirno sjedim
Should I sit quietly

il' s tobom jednom sredim
Or confront you once and for all
