Majsko sunce

Zdravko Colic's song 'Majsko sunce' is a poetic and emotional ballad that delves into themes of love, longing, and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a journey, both literal and metaphorical, as the singer addresses his beloved. The recurring lines 'Godo, godino, ti put putujes, a kamoli ja' and 'Kiso, kisice, ti se rasplaka, a kamoli ja' suggest a deep sense of yearning and the inevitability of separation, yet also a promise of reunion.

The title 'Majsko sunce' (May Sun) symbolizes hope and renewal, as May is often associated with spring and new beginnings. The singer reassures his beloved not to worry, promising to return 'eto mene kad zvijezde dogore, eto me do zore' (I'll be there when the stars burn out, I'll be there by dawn). This imagery of stars and dawn signifies the end of a dark period and the arrival of a new day, reinforcing the theme of hope and perseverance.

Colic's use of natural elements like the sun, stars, and rain ('Kiso, kisice, ti se rasplaka') adds a layer of universality to the song, making it relatable to anyone who has experienced love and separation. The golden thread ('zlatnim koncem da se spoje') metaphorically represents the unbreakable bond between the lovers, suggesting that no matter the distance or time apart, their hearts remain connected. This song is a beautiful testament to enduring love and the promise of reunion, wrapped in the rich, emotive style that Zdravko Colic is known for.
