Zvijezda Nad Balkanom (original)

Ovdje su nekada, mala, stajali
Stari vitezi i u isto ovo nebo gledali,
Proroèanstvo èekali
Kose im posta e sijede, a maèevi rðavi
Uhode su bili svuda poslali,
Veliku, sjajnu gozbu spremili
Pjevaèe i lijepe gospe doveli,
Al' strepnja iz srca ne odlazi
Konji su bili nemirni.
Ratnici èvrsto stezali koplja, æutali i èekali
Kad æe jedna zvijezda
Na nebu nad Balkanom jaèe zasjati
A noæas su ljudi iza li na trg,
Iza li na trg i poèeli govoriti,
Dok u noæi svijetle ljemovi,
ljemovi i pendreci
Na betonu razbacane stvari,
Cipele, ta ne i barjaci
Kunem ti se mala jedna zvijezda nad Balkanom
Poèe jaèe sijati
Sinoæ, mala, èudan san sam usnio,
Oru je skriveno u sijenu i zamak to je gorio
Vatre u umi, èuli su se bubnjevi, a
Jedna zvijezda nad Balkanom poèe jaèe sijati
Kuæa druga Radivoja svijetli na brijegu,
On ima poneku sijedu i trbuh veliki
On jede bombone i èisti pi tolje na terasi
Jedne ljetnje veèeri
Ograda visoka i psi su pu teni
Popio je tonu tableta ali san neæe na oèi
Doveli su mu klinku iz grada ali on je neæe dotaæi
Sinoæ, mala, èudan san sam usnio,
Oru je skriveno u sijenu i zamak to je gorio
Vatre u umi, èuli su se bubnjevi, a
Jedna zvijezda na nebu nad Balkanom poèe jaèe sijati

(translation)

They used to stand here, baby
The old knights also looked at this same sky,
Prophecy awaited
Their hair is gray and their swords are rusty
Spies were sent everywhere,
They prepared a big, great feast
Singers and beautiful ladies brought,
But anxiety from the heart does not go away
The horses were restless.
The warriors drew their spears tightly, kept silent, and waited
When will one star
It shines brighter in the sky over the Balkans
And last night people came out to the square,
And he went out into the square, and began to speak.
While the lights are on at night,
braids and batons
Stuffed things on the concrete,
Shoes, not flags
I swear to you, one little star over the Balkans
It began to shine brighter
Last night, baby, I had a strange dream,
Oru was hidden in the hay and the castle was burning it
Fires in the mind, drums were heard, a
One star over the Balkans began to shine brighter
The house of another Radivoje shines on the hill,
He has some gray hair and a big belly
He eats candy and cleans drinks on the terrace
One summer evening
The fence is high and the dogs are on the road
He took a ton of pills, but sleep is not in his eyes
They brought him a kid from town, but he won't touch her
Last night, baby, I had a strange dream,
Oru was hidden in the hay and the castle was burning it
Fires in the mind, drums were heard, a
A star in the sky over the Balkans began to shine brighter
