Dok gori nebo nad Novim Sadom - Đorđe Balašević

Da se ne lažemo, nije to bio neki most

Od onih podignutih da bi se u njih gledalo

Ne… Pre je bio od onih podignutih da bi se sa njih gledalo

I pod njima prvi put poljubilo

Ali… Ponekad ga je Ona

Prelazila svojim uobraženim kadetskim korakom

A mesečina se kao deverika lovila u mrežu njene kose

Po tome ću ga, eto, pamtiti

Rat je kao pijan svat prošao poljem… Šenlučio celu noć

Kaleći bes na ranom žitu i tek niklom bostanu

Zašto?

Ne pitaj se, jer, tako je bolje i Bog je pristao na to

Ratovi prolaze, a ljudi, eto, ipak ostanu

Za zlo sam teški laik, no, to je stara priča

Znaš već: Bila jednom dva brata i to

Kad sklopim taj mozaik, ostane mi kamičak

I to smo izgleda mi?

Ma, hitni papuče u vis

Žalosna Panonska Vilo

Za tvoje dugme sedefno

Ja noćas kraljevstvo dajem

I lupni daire o bok

Ramena pospi aprilom

Pa ponizi ovaj mrak

Tim svojim lucidnim sjajem

Zaigraj, bosa i prkosna

Dok iznad Novog Sada

Đavo pali svoja kandila

Žad na reci tamni

Čim se sumrak zgusne

Dunav je pred zoru prek

Plaše te aveti što maglom brode teškim skelama?

Ne, strah nije pravi ruž za tvoje usne

Reši ga se ga jednom zauvek

I veruj zvezdi koja zraku tvog života prelama

Nije to prva neman što preti dahom vatre… Ne

Ali ljubav je vitez

Arhanđel s' mačem, spreman da i tu alu satre

Da… I samo čeka tvoj znak

Let's face it, it wasn't a bridge

From those raised to be looked at

No… He used to be one of those raised to be seen

And under them he kissed for the first time

But… Sometimes She is

She crossed with her conceited cadet stride

And the moon was hunting like a bream in the net of her hair

That's how I'll remember him

The war passed like a drunken bridegroom through the field… Shenluchio all night

Tempering rage on the early wheat and the newly sprouted watermelon

Why?

Don't ask yourself, because it's better that way and God agreed to it

Wars pass, and people stay

I’m a tough layman for evil, but that’s an old story

You already know: Once upon a time there were two brothers and that

When I put together that mosaic, I'm left with a pebble

And that seems to be us?

Ma, emergency slippers in the air

Sad Pannonian Fairy

For your pearl button

I'm giving the kingdom tonight

I lupni daire o bok

Shoulders fall asleep in April

So humiliate this darkness

Tim with his lucid glow

Play, barefoot and defiant

While above Novi Sad

The devil lights his lamp

Jade on the river dark

As soon as dusk thickens

The Danube is before dawn across

Are you scared of ghosts that carry heavy scaffolding in the fog?

No, fear is not the right lipstick for your lips

Get rid of him once and for all

And believe the stars that break the ray of your life

This is not the first monster that threatens to breathe fire… No.

But love is a knight

Archangel with a sword, ready to crush that alu

Yes… And just waiting for your sign
