Dao sam ti dusu

Alen Slavica's song 'Dao sam ti dusu' poignantly captures the ephemeral nature of time and love. The lyrics open with a vivid metaphor, comparing years to deer that vanish in flight, suggesting the swift passage of time. This imagery is further enriched by the notion of memories as 'kisses in the snow,' evoking a sense of fleeting, delicate moments that are beautiful yet transient. The repetition of 'kisses in the snow' underscores the fragility and impermanence of these cherished memories.

The song continues to explore the theme of time and dreams as a flowing river, a metaphor that conveys the unstoppable and continuous nature of life's journey. The river symbolizes the accumulation of experiences and emotions, which, despite their transitory nature, form the essence of the narrator's existence. The lyrics 'That's all I have from you and happiness' reflect a sense of acceptance and contentment with the intangible remnants of a past relationship, highlighting the bittersweet nature of love and memory.

The chorus, repeated three times, emphasizes the depth of the narrator's emotional investment: 'I gave you my soul, I gave you my heart, I have nothing left, but I don't regret it.' This declaration of selfless love and the absence of regret despite the loss speaks to the purity and intensity of the narrator's feelings. The song's melancholic yet accepting tone resonates with anyone who has experienced the passage of time and the enduring impact of love, even when it has faded into memories.
