Neka ti suncem zapocne dan (duet Branko)
Jozefina · Other Songs - Jozefina
okreni nebu svoj mali dlan
pomisli tad na mene
vjetar ce ponest' tvoj san
neka ti suncem zapocne dan
Pomisli tad na mene
vjetar ce ponest' tvoj san
neka ti suncem zapocne dan
Ref.
Daljine nas dijele
tuga je u srcu mom
zelje su beskrajno more
izmedju nas
A malo je trebalo tog
zeljeli smo previse
bojim se, duso, izgubit' te
Stojim kraj mora, nostalgija
sve nepravde svijeta na ledjima
zvijezde ne donose mir
do tebe ne mogu doc'
dusa je tuzna, teska je noc
Zvijezde ne donose mir
do tebe ne mogu doc'
dusa je tuzna, teska je noc
Ref.
A sunny greeting from a Croatian festival duet
A sunny wish for someone else's morning gives “Neka ti suncem započne dan” (“May Your Day Begin with Sunshine”) its gentle, optimistic center. The duet brings Josefina and Branko together in a warm, melodic performance, with the song's tone closer to an affectionate greeting than a dramatic romantic declaration. Its easygoing character fits the light, audience-friendly side of Croatian festival pop.
The song appeared on the 1998 compilation *Melodije Hrvatskog Jadrana '98*, associated with the Split festival of the same name. The pairing of two singers and the Mediterranean melodic feel place it firmly in the late-1990s Croatian festival tradition. Streaming catalogues credit the performers as Josefina and Branko, while older listings also render her name as Jozefina.
There is no reliably documented chart position or detailed critical review for the song. Its lasting presence is mainly archival: the festival compilation, later digital listings and surviving performance video keep the duet accessible. “Neka ti suncem započne dan” is a modest, cheerful example of festival songwriting, where a simple positive sentiment and complementary voices are the main attraction.
