Lyrics and translation Miroslav Škoro - Svetinja

Svetinja

Kakvo je to došlo vrijeme, i brat brata vara
Što nam rade loše sluge loših gospodara
Svaka laž je trn u kruni mojih predaka
A gdje je istina

Nema riječi, nema dara niti pjesama
Da sakriju moju muku, moja sjećanja
Zlato daje, dušu krade, slatko progovara
Guja iz njedara

Tko to moje ime doziva
Čudni ljudi čudnog imena
Pa mi kunu što je svetinja
Vjera, ljubav i domovina

Na sve strane dižu glave ptice rugalice
Sve je manje sretnih dana, sloge i pravice
A najbolji među nama noću vodu piju
Bijelo lice kriju

Tko to moje ime doziva
Čudni ljudi čudnog imena
Pa mi kunu što je svetinja
Vjera, ljubav i domovina

Tko to moje ime doziva
Čudni ljudi čudnog imena
Pa mi kunu što je svetinja
Vjera, ljubav i domovina

Shrine

What kind of time has come when brother tricks brother
What are these wicked servants of wicked masters doing to us
Every lie is a thorn in the crown of my ancestors
But where is the truth

There are no words, no gifts or songs
That can hide my pain, my memories
She gives gold, steals souls, speaks sweetly
Viper from the bosom

Who is calling my name
Strange people with strange names
And they swear at me what is a shrine
Faith, love and homeland

Mockingbirds raise their heads on all sides
There are less and less happy days, harmony and justice
And the best among us drink water at night
Hiding their pale faces

Who is calling my name
Strange people with strange names
And they swear at me what is a shrine
Faith, love and homeland

Who is calling my name
Strange people with strange names
And they swear at me what is a shrine
Faith, love and homeland
