Nismo smeli (feat. Marija Serifovic)
Jovana Nikolic · Other Songs - Jovana Nikolic
ona je ta, pred svima slepa se napravi lako
ona je ta sto ti sve zaboravlja
Ona je ta dok ja ti kosulje perem od greha
ona je ta da pusti suze kad nestane smeha
ona je ta i znam na sve bi pristala
Ref.
Da te deli, sa mnom deli
svake noci, svaki tren
a to nismo, nismo smeli
to je samo uspeh njen
Jer te deli, sa mnom deli
tako me boli istina
ona samo mene lomi na pola
a to me ubija
Ref.
Da nas deli, nismo smeli
da nas deli, nismo smeli mi
ona je ta

A duet caught in a painful love triangle
Two contrasting voices meet in “Nismo smeli” (“We Shouldn't Have”), a duet by Jovana Nikolić and Marija Šerifović about the damage caused by sharing a partner. The song gives the narrator's regret a direct, emotional focus: what began as an intimate attachment has become a painful triangle, with one person feeling divided and discarded. Its dramatic subject suits the duet format, allowing the two singers' distinct timbres to shape the song's intensity.
Released as a single in January 2016, the track was written by Leontina Vukomanović and arranged by Darko Dimitrov. The collaboration paired Nikolić with one of Serbia's most recognizable contemporary vocalists, giving the release a stronger profile than an unaccompanied album cut. Its polished pop production supports a classic regional heartbreak-ballad structure.
A reliable chart peak is not consistently reported, but the song's duet credit and official video are well documented. “Nismo smeli” stands out in Nikolić's catalogue for its high-profile collaboration and its account of divided loyalties. Rather than offering a tidy resolution, it stays with the emotional cost of a relationship in which nobody can fully claim the person they love.
