意思
Singing people are good-hearted.
文化背景
Singing is a fundamental part of social gatherings. It is common for people to burst into song after a few glasses of wine, and this proverb is the 'license' to do so. The phrase is inseparable from the 1970 film of the same name. It represents a nostalgic view of the city's 'golden age' in the 1930s. In Dalmatia, 'Klapa' singing is a way of life. This proverb justifies the loud, harmonic singing often heard in narrow stone streets at night. The 'Bećarac' is a form of singing that can be cheeky or provocative, but the proverb is used to remind everyone that it's all in good fun.
The 'Tko' Rule
In Croatian proverbs, 'Tko' acts like 'He who' in English. It's a great way to sound like a native speaker when making general observations.
Movie Reference
If you mention the film 'Tko pjeva zlo ne misli' to a Croatian, they will immediately treat you like an insider. It's the ultimate cultural icebreaker.

常见问题
4 个问题Yes, but often ironically or as a reference to the famous movie. It's still very common in social media captions.
In this context, it means 'malice' or 'bad intentions.' In other contexts, it can mean 'harm' or 'disaster.'
No, that's not a standard phrase. Stick to the original 'zlo ne misli' to be understood.
The comma separates the subject clause ('Tko pjeva') from the main clause ('zlo ne misli'). It's grammatically required.
