Zasto zatvaras oci

imao ljubavi draze
od tvojih nikada nisam
ljubio usne sladje
Od tvojih nikada nisam
drzao ruke blaze
ipak ce srce moje
zeljeti jednom da kaze
Ref.
Zasto zatvaras oci
dok ja te ljubim
pomislim uvijek kako
te tada gubim
Bojim se da zelis biti
sa nekim drugim
ne zatvaraj vise oci
dok ja te ljubim
Od tebe nikada nisam
imao ljubavi draze
od tvojih nikada nisam
ljubio usne sladje
Plasim se dok te ljubim
da postoji neko treci
uvijek u tom trenutku
zelim ti jedno reci
Ref.
Zasto zatvaras oci
A closed eyelid becomes a small catastrophe in this song. The singer is kissing someone he loves, but that moment of intimacy triggers the fear that she is mentally elsewhere, perhaps already giving herself to somebody new. The question in the title is therefore not really about the gesture; it is about whether closeness can still be trusted when one partner cannot see the other’s face.
The lyric repeats its evidence—the tenderness of her lips and hands—then lets doubt undermine it. Affection is real, but the narrator treats the beloved’s closed eyes as a sign of imminent loss. That ambiguity gives the song more emotional texture than a straightforward accusation: he is not certain she is unfaithful, only frightened that the intimacy he feels may not be shared. The entry identifies Mahir Paloš and supplies the lyrics, but no dependable song-specific coverage or release documentation was available to establish the recording’s reception or musical history. The reading here is consequently textual. Its strength is the way a private, ordinary act becomes a test that neither lover has agreed to take.
The lyric belongs to the intimate grammar of a romantic ballad: repetition, direct address and a small gesture become evidence in a much larger emotional trial. Closing one’s eyes while being kissed might be a moment of tenderness, yet the narrator reads it as a sign of possible betrayal. This is the song’s productive ambiguity, because the audience never receives proof that the fear is justified. The entry gives no production credits or independent review, so it would be misleading to infer a particular arrangement from the words alone. As a piece of lyric drama, it transforms an ordinary kiss into a question about trust, projection and how quickly vulnerability can manufacture suspicion.
