Sliku tvoju ljubim

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stalno gledam tvoju sliku,
A grudi mi vatrom gore,
Tvoje uste nasmijane,
Samo što ne progovore.


Sliku tvoju ljubim, šapćem tvoje ime.
Vjetar nosi riječi, ne zaboravi me.
Sliku tvoju ljubim, šapćem tvoje ime.
Vjetar nosi riječi, ne zaboravi me.


Da mi nije slike tvoje
Tuga bi mi veća bila.
Ti si mene očarala,
I zauvijek osvojila.

Već odavno ti ne pišeš,
Što te nema da se javiš.
Oj ljubavi najmilija,
Nemoj da me zaboraviš.

Toma Zdravković

I'm kissing your photo/picture

I'd just like to add some more info.:
Damra is right - there were many singers (both male and female) who sang (or still sing) this song.
I do not know who the original performer was (could be Toma Zdravkovic, like Gordana said above).
This is still a very popular folk love song and is considered one of the best of its kind (for comparison, this is like country music in the U.S.).
And Toma Zdravkovic was considered one of the best singers of this sort of music.

It can be also translated as \"It\'s you photo I\'m kissing\", since the singer stresses kissing the phote because his darling is not there.
