Zivote moj
Jovan Perisic · Other Songs - Jovan Perisic
dok meni noci bilo koja
trosi, krade, boli
Da li ti nekad na pamet padam
ma ko mi brani da se nadam
sanjam, cekam, volim
Ja nisam zastao
kad sve je palo
kad sve je stalo
Ref.
Zivote moj, nemam ja
godinama koga ljubiti
i nemam sta sacuvati
ni sta izgubiti
Al' jedno me na ovom
svetu drzi, znaj
dok bol u meni uziva
da ti me cuvas za kraj
Kome si bolja, mila moja
dok mene ljubi bilo koja
jos te zalud volim
Da li ti nekad na pamet padam
u nekoj sobi nekog grada
da l' na tren zaboli
Ja nisam zastao
kad sve je stalo
kad sve je palo
Ref.
Living on after a lost love
“Živote moj” (“My Life”) is a song of loneliness after a relationship has ended, with the narrator wondering how the former partner is living and admitting that memories still shape his days. The title sounds like a direct address to life itself, but the emotional center is a person trying to continue while carrying unresolved grief. Its restrained heartbreak fits the melodic storytelling of Serbian pop-folk.
Jovan Perišić included the track on *Snaga ljubavi*, his 2016 double album released by Grand Production. It appears on the first disc alongside “Zar nisam dovoljno kažnjen,” another song shaped by the aftermath of lost love. The album places Perišić's familiar vocal style in the modern regional folk setting that has defined his career.
No verified chart peak is readily available for this particular song, though Perišić is an established singer in the regional folk scene. “Živote moj” is best appreciated as part of the album's heartbreak sequence: it does not resolve the loss so much as describe the persistence required to live alongside it. The song's quiet melancholy distinguishes it from more celebratory pop-folk material.
