Requiem [English translation]

Whenever I walk the street with your name

I think of that song

I've been singing it for years now

no one needs an old refrain

And people remember the songs for a short time, commander

The story about us will remain in books:

Balkans at the end of one century

Every tribe draws ther own border

Everyone would want their page

The dreams are melting as an iceberg, hey commander

The flags are on the barricades again

people are out as if t was a holiday

and they are taking children out of the morning classes

to see hungry workers

And where are we, naive

who stand up on the Hey Slavs

as if we were made up of that story

Times are tricky for the guy like me

who minds his own business

I'm not crazy so that they could wind me up

I only have Yugoslavia

All of the other torches are burning without me, commander

And everyone is there to win that lottery

they are always the fastest on the barricades

but never the wisest

And where are we, naive

who stand up on the Hey Slavs

as if we were made up of that story

And tricked

and when I walk the street with your name

I think of panta rei

Some guy out there

will throw a rock on your monument too

Because everything changes, and everything flows... Man
