Ja sam se zakleo
Jovan Perisic · Other Songs - Jovan Perisic
najlepsu si haljinu obukla
tako lepa, Boze hvala sto je moja
Prilazim, ubrzavam hod
nogama ne doticem pod
od svih ti si i lepsa i bolja
Od drugih ljubav ja sam krao
da bih je tebi dao
Ref.
Pusti me da ti poljupcima kazem
sto u milion reci ne bih mog'o
da ovaj zivot i vazduh sto disem
ja delio bih s tobom
Pusti me da ti pokazem da umem
da volim jednu zenu zivot ceo
na vecnu ljubav pred tobom i Bogom
ja sam se zakleo, tebi se zakleo
Pamtim prvi poljubac tvoj
do tog trena ni slutio nisam
da covek moze toliko da voli
Osmeh tvoj mi dodje k'o lek
oprala si svaki moj greh
tvoja ljubav ucinila me boljim
Od drugih ljubav ja sam krao
da bih je tebi
Ref.
A promise of lifelong fidelity
“Ja sam se zakleo” (“I Swore”) turns a promise of lifelong fidelity into a polished Serbian pop-folk declaration. The narrator frames commitment as a vow made before both God and the person he loves, giving the song a ceremonial quality rather than the wounded perspective of many heartbreak ballads. Its emotional certainty is the point: devotion is spoken as something chosen and meant to last.
Released in 2016 by Grand Production, the track was written by Siniša Ličina and arranged by Dragan Kovačević Struja. It appears on Jovan Perišić's double album *Snaga ljubavi*, which pairs new songs with a second disc of earlier hits. The song's strong refrain and traditional romantic language place it within the singer's established regional folk style.
A reliable chart peak is not consistently documented. The available record confirms the single's release, credits and album placement, but not a specific chart campaign. “Ja sam se zakleo” adds an assured, celebratory note to *Snaga ljubavi*, balancing the album's many songs about lost love with a direct statement of faithfulness.
