Samo da si tu
Jovan Perisic · Other Songs - Jovan Perisic
tu kraj moga srca prilaze
osjecaj stari zenlju pomera
ide moja voljena
Ti lepa si k'o rano prolece
znam da ova ljubav bolece
al' spremno cu docekati dane i rane
koji nam dolaze
Ref.
Samo da si tu
nikog necu tako voleti
sreco moja, za tobom sam lud
sve cu dati da se ostvari
svaka zelja tvoja
Samo da si tu
ova dusa moj je topli dom
sreco moja, za tobom sam lud
sve cu dati da se ostvari
svaka zelja tvoja
Dok cekam noci sve su tamnije
i zbog tebe ne znam sta mi je
budnom u snove si mi sletela
srce si mi otela
Ref. 2x
A simple wish for the beloved to return
A single wish—to have the loved one present—organizes “Samo da si tu” (“If Only You Were Here”). Jovan Perišić's narrator describes waiting through dark nights and says that the relationship matters more than anything else. The feeling is wholehearted and idealized, with the song presenting devotion as both comfort and vulnerability.
The track appears on Perišić's 2016 album *Snaga ljubavi*, released by Grand Production. It is part of the album's first disc of new recordings, alongside other songs about love, separation and emotional endurance. The arrangement follows a familiar Serbian pop-folk ballad approach, using a clear melodic line to foreground the singer's direct address.
No dependable chart result for “Samo da si tu” is widely available, so its reception is best described through its place in Perišić's album catalogue and later digital circulation. The song's appeal lies in its simple emotional premise: presence itself becomes the answer to loneliness. It is one of the gentler expressions of devotion on *Snaga ljubavi*, offering a hopeful counterpoint to the record's more regretful heartbreak songs.
