Suze

I noćas gledam u zvezde
Pitam se šta je to sudbina
Drhtaj u grudima
Zemlja večito žedna za suzama
I bol što obuzima
I noćas čekamo Godoa* na stepeništu metroa
Ja sanjam sivo
A sanjao bih život
 
O Bože, čije to grehove skupo plaćamo,
Čije dugove vraćamo
Svi uzaludni ratovi, kišni dani bez duge
Mladi životi na koje su čekale neke nove pruge
Više ne gledaj svoj dom, anđele
Umrečeš od tuge
 
Zbog lažnog rodoljublja vršnjaci su ginuli
A nisu ni krivi
O Bože, ja priznajem, ja sam pička**
Ja volim da živim
A slike mašu sa zidova iako kažu da vreme leti
Molim se suncu da nas se ponovo seti
I kunem se Bogom vala nema tog ideala
Vrednog mog jedinog života
Svi veliki filozofi-utopisti, hvala
Al' mene ne teši ta spika
O patriotizmu dogme i lažne nauke
 
Ja znam da mrtvi plaču
Jer srcem čujem jauke
Jecaju i kunu, pitaju zašto
Jel' bilo vredno, jel' bilo vredno
Reci to majci što je izgubila jedino čedo (reci)
A mi i dalje živimo bedno i u očaju
Suze za raju*** u starom kraju
Celom svetu nek znaju
Nek znaju da se ovde pucalo
I plakalo iz istog očaja
Nek znaju da ni dan danas ne znamo
ni razloga ni značaja
 
Rokao sam mikrofon u Tuzli
Primili su me kao brata
Pa svima je dosta rata
Mržnja nije naša, već nam je data
 
O tata, reci zar danas treba da mrzim
Hrvata ili Muslimana
Pa sve nas mući ista rana iz starih dana
Ljudi su ljudi
Bez obzira sa ovog ili onog meridijana
Iste nas stvari plaše
Oprosti nam grehove naše
 
Oče naš**** ja nisam taj što zna
al' nadam se da bar ti znaš
otkud toliki bol, suze i strah
pepeo pepelu i prah opet posta'će prah
al' ni'ko neće znati što je na brata pucao brat
 
E, Marčelo
Jadno je naše i povodljivo stanovništvo
Čovjek kad ništa nema
Najlakše mu je prodat' zajedništvo
 
Opet je uplakan cijeli Balkan
Imamo vel'ke nacije sa malo mozga
Tvrde očeve i vođe oni su nam k'o droga
 
Cijelo vrijeme biramo loše sisteme
Dragi moji ljudi
Pa vrijeme je da se krene
Neću više metke da ispucavam za sumnjive pretke
Neću cijeli život da živim početke
 
Mamu vam jebem
Đe god da krenem
U Evropu, ljevo, desno, naprjed, iza
Treba mi viza
 
I naša je glupost strah i neodlučnost
Većinska želja da smo u mentalitetu sela
Taman dobro krenemo
Pa u mržnju skrenemo
Nemamo strpljenja za nove pa onda venemo
Zaboravili smo kako se smijat
Ti mišići na licu nam
se jednostavno ne miču
Hej, evo ga
Kad estradu vidim
I opet nestane,
Kad se sjetim
Đe živim...
 
Oče naš...
 
Translation

Tears

One more night I'm looking at the stars
Asking myself what is fate?
A tremble in the chest
The earth forever thirsty for tears
And the pain that takes over
And tonight we're waiting for Godot on the metro escalator
I dream in grey
And I'd like to dream the life
 
Oh God, whose sins are we paying for so expensively,
Whose debts are we paying off
All the wars in vain, rainy days without a single rainbow
Young lives which were awaited by some new railroads
Don't look at your home anymore, angel
You'll die of sorrow
 
Because of false patriotism, peers have died
And they weren't even guilty
Oh God, I admit, I am a pussy
I like to live
And the photos wave from the walls even though they say that the time flies
I pray to the sun to remember us again
And I swear to God, there is no such principle
Worthy of my only life
To all the great philosophers, utopians - thank you
But that talk doesn't comfort me
The dogmas and false teachings about patriotism
 
I know that the dead cry
Because I hear their screams with my heart
They sob and curse, asking why
Was it worth it, was it worth it?
Tell that to the mother that lost her only child (tell her)
And we still live miserably and in despair
Tears for the clique in the old hood
For the whole world to know
Let them know that there were shootings here
And crying out of same desperation
Let them know that not even today we don't know
Not a reason nor a meaning for it
 
I was rocking the microphone in Tuzla
They greeted me as a brother
Well everyone is sick of war
The hatred is not ours, it is given to us
 
Oh dad, tell me do I have to hate nowadays
A Croat or a muslim?
Well we are all hurting from the same wound from the old days
People are people
It doesn't matter from this or that meridian
The same things scare us
Forgive us our sins
 
Pater noster, I'm not the one that knows
But I'm hoping that at least you do
Why all that pain, tears and fear?
Ashes to ashes and the dust will become dust again
But nobody will know why a brother shot a brother
 
Eh, Marchelo
Miserable are our pliable people
When a man has nothing
It's easiest to sell our unity
 
The whole Balkans are in tears again
We have big nations with little brains
Hard fathers and leaders, they're like drugs to us
 
We're choosing bad systems all the time
My dear people
Well it's time to move forward
I don't want to shoot bullets for some dubious ancestors anymore
I don't want to live my whole life always starting from the beginning
 
Go fuck yourselves
Wherever I go
To Europe, left, right, forward, backwards
I need a visa
 
And the fear and the indecisiveness are just our stupidity
The wish of the majority that we're in the peasant mentality
As soon as we start off good
We divert back to the hatred
We have no patience for the new ones, so we wilt
We forgot how it is to laugh
Those muscles on our faces
Just don't move
Hey, here it is
When I see our show business
And it all disappears again
When I remember
Where I live...
 
Pater noster...
