Summer Kiss - A 1960s Balkan Lost Love Chanson

🌊 Close your eyes, smell the sea salt, and travel back to the Mediterranean summer of 1964.

"Summer Kiss" (Ljetni poljubac) is a rediscovered musical gem that captures the essence of the Golden Age of European festivals. This track isn't just a song; it's a time machine taking you to a rainy night on an old stone quay, where lovers say their last goodbyes under the dim yellow streetlights.

If you are a fan of vintage French chansons, Italian Sanremo classics, or the melancholic melodies of the Balkans, this song will speak directly to your soul. With its lush orchestral strings, acoustic guitar, and emotional vocal performance, "Summer Kiss" embodies the pure romance and nostalgia of the 1960s.

This style of music—often called "Schlager" or "Chanson" in the Balkans—was the soundtrack of a generation that loved slowly and deeply. It reminds us of a time when emotions were raw, and music was made with real instruments and heart.

🎵 Lyrics (English Translation):
(Follow along with the subtitles)

On the old quay, the wind awakes
while the city sleeps in silver light.
The scent of salt in your hair
brings unrest into oblivion.
Under the yellow, old lamp's glow,
we stand silent, trembling so,
like two shadows seeking grace
in the warm night, love's embrace.

Chorus:
One summer kiss, warm and mild,
leaves a trace on lips for a while.
Like a wave kissing the shore, silent and free,
only your love can heal me.
Summer kiss, like wine and honey,
melts the longest ice in my heart, sunny.
Let the moment last, let time stand still,
while your lips seek... mine to fill.

Tomorrow dawn will take dreams away
and the white ship will fade into the gray.
But tonight you're mine, queen of the summer,
and I'm your eternal, loving drummer.
Speak no words, let our eyes say all,
words are useless when shadows fall.
Listen to the sea whisper to us
keeping a secret just for us.
