Domovina [English translation]

I haven't told this to anyone

As if I was waiting for you little one

Life is not like in the books

So, remember this what I'm saying

This is the truth.

There were wars and ways of the cross

Grandma with children remained alone

My dad didn't like Yugoslavia

All he had was football

Hajduk and Dinamo*

Homeland is in our veins

homeland is in us.

During 70ties I was like you

The rose blossomed, our spring

And then suddenly many have disappeared

We didn't talk about this, we didn't see them

until 90ties.

Every autumn when it's rain

Our neighbour Griva lights the candle

Once he also had a son

When Vukovar was burning, he never

returned from there.

Now it's modern to wear checked**

And later some ''weird music''

That's why you must promise to your dad

That one day, all this you will tell

to your son.
