Verse 1
Mislim na tebe
Dok jesen topi osmijeh ljeta
I vlažnim trgom vjetar šeta
Mislim na tebe
In this verse, the singer expresses how thoughts of their loved one persist through changing seasons. The imagery of autumn melting away summer's smile captures a sense of loss. The wet square and wandering wind add to the somber mood, highlighting how nature reflects the singer's feelings. The repetition of "Mislim na tebe" emphasizes their attachment and longing.
Chorus
Tvoje su riječi
K'o noć što sja u staroj luci
K'o kišna kap na mojoj ruci
Mislim na tebe
The chorus compares the loved one's words to beautiful, comforting images. The night shining over an old port brings a sense of nostalgia and warmth. The raindrop on the singer’s hand suggests tenderness and fragility. This part reinforces the emotional connection, showing how the person's words linger and impact the singer’s life.
Verse 2
Mislim na tebe
Pamtim tvoje oči
Kad sve što traje neka sjeta smoči
I kad me izda svjetlost grada
Here, the singer recalls the loved one's eyes, which hold special memories. The idea that everything that lasts is tinged with sadness adds depth to their feelings. The fading city light symbolizes how life can feel dim without this person, making the memories even more poignant.
Chorus
Mislim na tebe
Kad je vrijeme loše
Kad se bez mjere neke riječi troše
Once again, the chorus reminds us that thoughts of the loved one fill the singer's mind, especially during hard times. The mention of "bad weather" metaphorically connects to feelings of despair or loneliness. It’s a powerful reminder that love can be a source of comfort even when life gets tough.
Verse 3
I dok se kućom šulja gusta tama
I dok me motre slike s trošnog rama
Na tebe mislim i kad valja leći
Dok vjetar ljulja zadnji sjaj u svijeći
In this verse, the dark imagery of the house and the fading light suggests isolation and introspection. The memories captured in worn-out frames symbolize how the past continues to haunt the present. The singer thinks of the loved one as they prepare to sleep, showing how these thoughts linger, even in quiet moments.
Chorus
Mislim na tebe
I kad me večer tugom zbuni
Uz tanku kavu s velom sumnji
The chorus returns with a more personal touch. The evening brings confusion and sorrow, and the thin coffee signifies a moment of vulnerability. The mention of doubt adds complexity to the singer's feelings, revealing that love can be a mix of joy and uncertainty.
Verse 4
Mislim na tebe
I kad ptice prhnu
Čak i kad misli gube svaku svrhu
I kad me umor posve svlada
Mislim na tebe i tada
This verse shows that the singer's thoughts of the loved one persist even when life feels aimless. The image of birds taking flight symbolizes freedom but also a sense of loss. The fatigue mentioned at the end highlights how overwhelming emotions can be, yet the connection remains strong.

Dok jesen topi osmijeh ljeta
I vlažnim trgom vjetar šeta
Mislim na tebe
I dok misli bježe
Kad malo toga još nas nečim veže
I dok sa svoda zvijezda pada
Mislim na tebe i tada
Tvoje su riječi
K'o noć što sja u staroj luci
K'o kišna kap na mojoj ruci
Mislim na tebe
Pamtim tvoje oči
Kad sve što traje neka sjeta smoči
I kad me izda svjetlost grada
Mislim na tebe i tada
Mislim na tebe kad je vrijeme loše
Kad se bez mjere neke riječi troše
I dok se kućom šulja gusta tama
I dok me motre slike s trošnog rama
Na tebe mislim i kad valja leći
Dok vjetar ljulja zadnji sjaj u svijeći
Mislim na tebe
I kad me večer tugom zbuni
Uz tanku kavu s velom sumnji
Mislim na tebe
I kad ptice prhnu
Čak i kad misli gube svaku svrhu
I kad me umor posve svlada
Mislim na tebe i tada
I tada, i tada
