Meni trebas ti
hajde, dodji mi
ne inati se
vrati, vrati se
K'o leptiru krila
i devojci svila
kao zemlji kise
i jos vise, i jos vise

K'o livadi cvece
nesrecnima srece
kao zemlji kise
i jos vise, i jos vise

A direct plea for a lover to return
“Meni trebas ti” (“I Need You”) expresses longing through a chain of everyday necessities. Jeca's narrator compares needing a lover to thirst needing water, a bird needing freedom and the earth needing rain. These images build toward a repeated plea for the person to return, making the song's emotional dependence vivid without a complicated storyline.
The track belongs to Jelena “Jeca” Krsmanović's Serbian folk repertoire and is associated with her 2000 album *Ti gubiš*. Its lyric favors short, memorable comparisons and a direct refrain, a structure that suits the song's insistence. Instead of describing why the relationship broke down, the narrator concentrates on the absence and the wish to end it.
No verified chart history or detailed critical response is widely documented. “Meni trebas ti” is a straightforward plea for reconciliation, with nature-based metaphors giving its central need a familiar, almost elemental quality. The song's simplicity is part of its design: every verse circles back to the same request for the beloved to come home.
