I chose this song because December is currently unfolding, and this time of year always brings silence, reflection, and memories for me. “One night in December” by Kemal Monteno carries an emotion that I deeply connect with during these days, calmness, gentle melancholy, and the warmth of memories that quietly return. While recording this cover, my intention was to respect the original feeling of the song, while expressing it through my own personal interpretation. For me, December is not only the end of the year, but a moment to slow down, listen to the silence, and allow music to gain a deeper meaning. This cover is my personal tribute to a timeless song and the sincere emotions it represents.
A December cover inspired by silence, reflection, and the timeless emotion of Kemal Monteno’s music.
Lyrics of the song
ONE NIGHT IN DECEMBER
One night in December,
when it was a cold winter,
I looked after you Branka,
I looked after our son.
I wanted lots of wine
and a mandolin orchestra,
I wanted your eyes
to warm me tonight.
CHORUS:
But there was nothing
except that cold night,
I only thought dear,
when will I come home again.
That in our warm home,
in silence by the fireplace,
I would kiss your gentle hands,
kiss our little son.
