Hvala ti

za sve hvala ti
na kraju hvala ti
Hej, hej, hej
ti dalje mozes sam
ja ti vise ne trebam
A/Ja bila dobra sam ti
sve godine duge
u onim danima
samoce i tuge
Ref.
Neka te sreca prati
pjesma i dragi ljudi
nek' nekad mjesto moje
neka tudja suza puni
Neka te sreca prati
pjesma i dragi ljudi
a kad zaboli dusa
neka ti nebo sudi
ja sam ti oprostila
Ref. 2x
Gratitude with a sting of heartbreak
“Hvala ti” (“Thank You”) is a farewell that refuses to end in bitterness. Jasna Zlokić’s narrator thanks a former partner for the years they shared, wishes him happiness with music and good people, and says she has forgiven him. Yet the blessing carries an edge: she imagines that one day someone else’s tears may take her place, leaving the listener to hear both generosity and hurt in the same gesture.
The song is included on Zlokić’s 1993 album *Nisam ti se tugo nadala*. Its direct refrain and clear melodic pop arrangement serve the lyric’s unusual balance of release and reproach. Rather than pleading for a return, the singer grants the other person permission to go and claims the final emotional word through forgiveness.
No reliable chart position or detailed critical record is readily documented. “Hvala ti” has a memorable parting premise that makes it distinct from a straightforward heartbreak lament: the narrator wants the former lover well, but does not pretend the separation has left no mark. Gratitude becomes both closure and a way of naming what was lost.
