Andjele mali
Jovan Perisic · Other Songs - Jovan Perisic
koga u srcu nemas
lako je moru da se
kapi odrekne
Neces ti zaplakati
ti samo srce menjas
a na tvom satu
svakom vreme istekne
Al' ja sam tu do kraja
do zadnjeg laznog zagrljaja
Ref.
Andjele mali, ko da me zali
sto sam ti takvoj ruku dao
nece me biti kad poletis
al' sam te takvu birao
Da si najgora i opet
ja bih na tvoju stranu stao
jer kako volis tako vredis
ja sam te takvu birao
Lako je pozdravljati
onog ko puta nema
lako je sreci
da od tuge pobegne
Necu se pokajati
sto sam ti srcu veran
vredna si celog sveta
da se odreknem
Ref. 2x
Choosing an imperfect love
“Anđele mali” (“Little Angel”) is a portrait of unconditional devotion to someone whose behavior is far from ideal. Perišić's narrator knows the relationship is uneven and that the woman can be emotionally distant, but he continues to choose her. The song's tenderness is therefore complicated by self-sacrifice: loyalty is presented as both a virtue and a willingness to endure hurt.
Released in 2016, the track is part of Jovan Perišić's double album *Snaga ljubavi* on Grand Production. Bane Opačić is credited with writing both the music and lyrics, shaping the song into a melodic folk ballad with a strong central hook. It sits among the album's new recordings, which explore romantic attachment from several different emotional angles.
A reliable chart peak is not widely recorded. The song remains available through the album and lyric catalogues, and its memorable title captures its blend of affection and resignation. “Anđele mali” stands out because the narrator does not ask the beloved to become perfect; he accepts her as she is, even while acknowledging the pain that choice may bring.
