Gori još i sad ovdje pored nas
Vatra ljubavi što zapalismo je mi
Sve je veći plam, sve je veći sjaj
Sve je bliže dan kada reći ćemo da
Gori vatra sad u nama
Gori ljubav, puna plama
Da l’ to sanjam, il’ je stvarno tako lijepo
Il’ te draga ja zavoljeh, ludo slijepo?
Dođi sad, dođi sad, dođi sad
Reci da, reci da
Gori vatra sad u nama
Gori ljubav, puna plama
Gori vatra
Gori još i sad ovdje pored nas
Vatra ljubavi što zapalismo je mi
Nana nanana… nana nanana…
Nana nanana… nana nana nanana…
Gori vatra sad u nama
Gori ljubav, puna plama
Da l’ to sanjam, il’ je stvarno tako lijepo
Il’ te draga ja zavoljeh, ludo slijepo?
Dođi sad, dođi sad, dođi sad
Reci da, reci da
Gori vatra sad u nama
Gori ljubav, puna plama
Gori vatra sad u nama
Gori ljubav, puna plama
Gori vatra
It’s still burning here beside us
Fire of love we had ignited
The flame is growing, the shine is expanding
Closer and closer is the day when we’ll say yes
The fire is burning inside of us
Love is burning, full of flames
Am I dreaming, or is it really this beautiful
Or did I fall in love with you, dear, madly and blindly?
Come now, come now, come now
Say yes, say yes
The fire is burning inside of us
Love is burning, full of flames
The fire is burning
It’s still burning here beside us
Fire of love we had ignited
Nana nanana… nana nanana…
Nana nanana… nana nana nanana…
The fire is burning inside of us
Love is burning, full of flames
Am I dreaming, or is it really this beautiful
Or did I fall in love with you, dear, madly and blindly?
Come now, come now, come now
Say yes, say yes
The fire is burning inside of us
Love is burning, full of flames
The fire is burning inside of us
Love is burning, full of flames
The fire is burning
