Svetlost u zoru širi krila
posvuda tvoja, ma gde bila
greh k’o staklo dušu slama
bole oči, puca glava
Upali sveće, neka dođu
sve što mislim nemam kome
budu sreće, onda prođu
i kom’ ću Bogu, kad me slome
Gde god krenem put me vodi
na ovaj Balkan, južno od sreće
da nađem te i da te rodim
za tako malo, a malo me neće
Upali sveće, neka dođu
sve što mislim nemam kome
za sve dane koji prođu
za čiju sreću, kad me slome
English Translation
The Balkans
The light is spreading your wings everywhere
in the dawn, no matter where it is
a sin shatters a soul like it’s glass
my eyes hurt, my head is cracking
Light up the candles, may all of
my thoughts come, I have no one to go to
happiness comes and then it leaves
and God, who will I go to when they break me
Wherever I am to go, the path leads me
to the Balkans, south from happiness
to find you and to bear you
for so little, but it doesn’t want me
Light up the candles, may all of
my thoughts come, I have no one to go to
for all of the days that go by
for someone’s happiness when they break me
