In 2006, Regina re-recorded the song in duet with the Macedonian pop singer Elena Risteska. It became the second song by Elena (after her Eurovision entry Ninanajna) sang in a different language than Macedonian. The song was awarded as duet of the year on the famous Montenegrian music festival Suncane Skale.

Lyrics
This version mostly retains the lyrics of the original version, with the exception of their adaptation for a mixed duet. Elena is starting the song saying that in that night she is feared and that she will lose him, saying that now she doesn't know how will she write a song and confess everything. Davor the leading singer of Regina is continuing saying that she lives in his dreams and there he can just kiss her lips and be her. The chorus is coming in which they say just the sentence "Love is not for us". After that Davor again repeat's his part. After that both of them are saying that tomorrow two tears will delete them from their lives and like they never meet themselves, will be strangers forever. They are continuing with the chorus.
