Ovo je ljubav
Jovana · Other Songs - Jovana
kazem i sto ne treba
sa mog lica masku skini
jer ti si mi potreba
Ja bez tebe ne postojim
i zato te sada molim
Ref. 2x
Nikada nemoj na mene da se ljutis
jer te volim i kad pricas i kada cutis
ma nije ovo ni igra ni gluma
ovo je ljubav, to mora da se cuva
Ponekad me tuga hvata
necu da ti budem broj
i kad puknem iz inata
svima kazem ti si moj
Ja bez tebe ne postojim
i zato te sada molim

A vulnerable declaration of lasting love
Jovana Tipšin's “Ovo je ljubav” (“This Is Love”) is a plea for a partner to look past conflict and recognize the vulnerability beneath it. The narrator admits to hiding behind a mask and behaving imperfectly, but insists that the relationship is real and worth protecting. That mix of self-reproach and deep attachment gives the song the emotional directness of a classic Serbian pop-folk ballad.
The title track appeared on Tipšin's 2017 compilation album *Ovo je ljubav*. Steva Simeunović wrote the song, with arrangement by Aleksandar Kobač; Tipšin's performance places it within the melodic pop-folk tradition she had built across a career that began in the 1990s. The release is documented by the official video and album catalogues.
No dependable chart position for this specific song is available. Its strongest context is the album's role as a career-spanning collection and the song's straightforward declaration of devotion. “Ovo je ljubav” uses a familiar love-song structure, but its request to be seen honestly gives the performance a personal, vulnerable tone rather than a purely idealized one.
