Volela sam tebe ja

s tobom srecu zelela
ljubav nam je bila sve
a sada umire
Ref. 2x
Dusa me boli, tuga me mori
jos te volim ja tugo golema
Nikad vise necu ja
biti srecna i voljena
sve si meni bio ti
a sad me ostavi
Ref.
Ako nekad dodje dan
da ostanes mili sam
vrati mi se opet ti
moja ljubavi
Ref.
Volela sam tebe ja
“Volela sam tebe ja” (“I Was the One Who Loved You”) is framed as a past-tense confession, but the refrain keeps the feeling alive in the present. The narrator says she wanted happiness with this person and that love once meant everything; now it is dying, yet her soul still aches and she still loves him. The song’s grammar cannot quite move on. The relationship belongs to the past, but the heart refuses to follow the verb tense.
That contradiction makes the lyric more affecting than its familiar heartbreak language might suggest. The singer is not describing a clean separation; she is trying to tell herself that the love is over while admitting that it remains. The repeated refrain sounds like a thought returning against her will. The title says “I loved you,” but the song’s emotional truth is closer to “I love you still.”
Marija Trajkovska’s ballad gives the chorus room to carry that unresolved grief. Independent criticism of the track is limited, so no consensus is implied. “Volela sam tebe ja” is a small, direct song about the lag between ending a relationship and ending the feeling. The past can be named; the present is harder to control. The narrator knows the story is dying, but is not yet ready to stop speaking in its language.
