Ni u tvome srcu (duet Rade Serbedzija)

Kemal Monteno's song "Ni u tvome srcu (duet Rade Serbedzija)" is a poignant exploration of lost love and the passage of time. The lyrics open with a sense of disillusionment, questioning whether anyone still believes in happiness or love in today's world. This sets the tone for a reflective journey, where the singer grapples with the remnants of the past and the difficulty of moving forward. The metaphor of 'knowing how to erase' what has been left behind suggests a struggle to let go of memories that continue to haunt the present.

As the song progresses, Monteno delves deeper into his nostalgia. He laments his inability to recall his first song or the faces of loved ones, symbolizing a loss of innocence and the fading of cherished memories. The absence of 'you' and the 'old fountain' further emphasize the void left by a significant other and the erosion of once-familiar places. This sense of loss is compounded by the imagery of the sea and birds, which he can no longer remember, indicating a disconnection from nature and the simple joys of life.

The chorus brings a glimmer of hope amidst the melancholy, acknowledging that while nothing is as it once was, there is a possibility for renewal. The line 'I know there is no flight with one wing' suggests that healing and moving forward require time and effort. However, the final verse returns to a somber note, with the wind no longer blowing in the heart and the shore being deserted. This imagery of an impending storm reflects the uncertainty and challenges that lie ahead, leaving the listener with a sense of unresolved longing and the inevitability of change.
