SAMO DA RATA NE BUDE
Pijani momci prolaze
Duž naše tihe ulice
Oni u vojsku polaze
Prate ih tužne curice
Brinu ih slutnje sulude
Da rata ne bude
Ne mogu da me ne sete
Suze navrh tvog nosića
Devetsto osamdesete
Ulice Brane Ćosića
I voza crnog k'o da s njim
Zauvek odlazim Znaš šta
Neka mora sve potope
Nek se glečeri rasture
Večni snegovi otope
Pa šta
Neka kiše ne prestaju
Neka gromovi polude
Samo rata da ne bude
Znaš šta
Nek se doba preokrenu
Nek se zvezde uznemire
Nek se planine pokrenu
Pa šta
Vetri nek pomahnitaju
Nek se vulkani probude
Samo rata da ne bude K'o zlatni prah
Oreol sna
Oko malenih glavica
I tvoja ljubav nad njima
Čuva ih kao lavica
Loše te vesti uzbude
Da rata ne budeZnaš šta
Neka mora sve potope
Nek se glečeri razvale
Večni snegovi otope
Pa šta
Neka kiše ne prestaju
Neka gromovi polude
Samo rata da ne bude
Znaš šta
Nek se doba preokrenu
Nek se zvezde uznemire
Nek se planine pokrenu
Pa šta
Vetri nek pomahnitaju
Nek se vulkani probude
Samo rata da ne bude Samo da rata ne bude
Ludila među ljudima
Veliki nude zablude
Plaše nas raznim čudima
I svakoj bajci naude
Samo da rata ne bude.
Samo da rata ne bude
Ludila među ljudima
Veliki nude zablude
Plaše nas raznim čudima
I svakoj bajci naude
Samo da rata ne bude.
| JUST LET THERE BE NO WAR
Drunken boys are passing
through our silent streets,
they're leaving for war
as girls greet them in sadness,
worried by sorrowful thoughts.
Just let there be no war.
Tears are flowing on your little nose
and I can't help thinking
to nineteen eighty
in Branimir Ćosić street
and to the black train, too,
as if I went forever away with it.And I tell you:
Let the seas sink down,
let the glaciers break asunder,
let eternal snows melt down
and still
let the rain fall unstopped,
let there be lightning and thunders storms,
just let there be no war.
And I tell you:
Let time go backwards,
let stars go wild in the sky,
let mountains be displaced
and still
let winds blow the world away,
let volcanoes awaken,
just let there be no war. Like golden dust,
like a dream aureole
on children's head,
your endless love
defends them like a lioness,
you're troubled by bad news:
let there be no warAnd I tell you:
Let the seas sink down,
let the glaciers crash down,
let eternal snows melt down
and still
let the rain fall unstopped,
let there be lightning and thunders storms,
just let there be no war.
And I tell you:
Let time go backwards,
let stars go wild in the sky,
let mountains be displaced
and still
let winds blow the world away,
let volcanoes awaken,
just let there be no war. Just let there be no war,
may the people become sane again.
The grown-ups tell stories,
they frighten us with great miracles
and do all boys harm.
Just let there be no war!
