Lyrics of Moja Mala Židovko - Dino Merlin

Moja Mala Židovko (original)

Vrijeme kao da nešto skriva
Od mojih prozora mrak pravi ogledala
Znam samo to da si živa
I da prkosiš još, da se nisi predala
Koje misli čovjek sad da zove saveznicama
Koje riječi da izgovara
Kome da vjeruje
Znam, nema slika koje mogu
Da izbrišu godine nepovjerenja
Nema riječi koje mogu
Da opišu stradanja i poniženja
Stop za sve što sam ja, za sve moje ideale
Al' evo, živ sam i nasmijan
Moje riječi nisu pucale
Sakrit ćemo se od demokratije
Od svih tih boraca za ljudska prava, od država
Pobjeći ćemo od apatije
Poljima posutim makom
Na ruci s nekom novom trakom
Moja mala djevojko
Moja mala Židovko
Moja mala djevojko
Mi dobro znamo kako je to
Kad pristojni ljudi glave okreću
Samo se čuje escajg za večerom
Došli smo ovdje jedni drugima
Reći šta nas boli, onako iskreno
Ovo je požarno tlo
Na kojem isto zlo dobro zaklanja
Samo je jedna iskra dovoljna
Ili da plane sve ili da sve obasja

(translation)

Time seems to be hiding something
Darkness makes mirrors out of my windows
All I know is that you're alive
And to defy more, not to give up
What a man thinks now to call allies
What words to pronounce
Who to trust
I know, there are no pictures I can take
To erase years of mistrust
There are no words I can
To describe suffering and humiliation
Stop for all that I am, for all my ideals
But here I am, alive and smiling
My words did not crack
We will hide from democracy
Of all those human rights activists, of the state
We will escape apathy
Poppy-sprinkled fields
On hand with some new tape
My little girl
My little Jew
My little girl
We know very well what it is like
When decent people turn their heads
You can only hear the cutlery at dinner
We came here to each other
To say what hurts us, honestly
This is a fire ground
On which the same evil slaughters the good
Just one spark is enough
Either to burn everything or to illuminate everything
