Samo da rata nebude
(ÄorÄe BalaÅ”eviÄ)
Pijani momci prolaze duž naŔe 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 na vrh tvog nosiÄa
devetsto-osamdesete, ulice Brane ÄosiÄa
i voza crnog k'o da s njim zauvek odlazim.
ZnaŔ Ŕta, neka mora sve potope,
nek se gleÄeri razvale, veÄni snegovi otope.
Pa Ŕta, neka kiŔe ne prestaju,
neka gromovi polude, samo rata da ne bude!
ZnaŔ Ŕta, nek se doba preokrenu,
nek se zvezde uznemire, nek se planine pokrenu.
Pa Ŕta, vetri nek pomahnitaju,
nek se vulkani probude, samo rata da ne bude!
K'o zlatni prah, oreol sna, oko malenih glavica
i naÅ”a ljubav nad njima Äuva ih kao lavica.
LoŔe te vesti uzbude - da rata ne bude!
ZnaŔ Ŕta, neka mora sve potope,
nek se gleÄeri razvale, veÄni snegovi otope.
Pa Ŕta, kiŔe neka ne prestaju,
neka gromovi polude, samo rata da ne bude!
ZnaŔ Ŕta, nek se doba preokrenu,
nek se zvezde uznemire, nek se planine pokrenu.
Pa Ŕta, vetri nek pomahnitaju,
nek se vulkani probude, samo rata da ne bude!
Samo da rata ne bude, ludila meÄu ljudima,
veliki nude zablude, plaÅ”e nas raznim Äudima
i svakoj bajci naude - da rata ne bude!
Samo da rata ne bude, ludila meÄu ljudima,
veliki nude zablude, plaÅ”e nas raznim Äudima
i svakoj bajci naude - da rata ne bude!

### Just Let There Be No War
*(ÄorÄe BalaÅ”eviÄ)*
Drunken boys pass along our quiet street,
they're heading off to the army, followed by sad girls,
troubled by insane premonitionsā
**just let there be no war!**
I can't help but remember
the tears at the tip of your little nose,
the year nineteen-eighty, Brane ÄosiÄ Street,
and the black train, as if Iām leaving forever with it.
You know what? Let the seas flood everything,
let the glaciers collapse, let the eternal snows melt.
So what? Let the rains never stop,
let the thunder go madā
**just let there be no war!**
You know what? Let times be overturned,
let the stars be disturbed, let the mountains move.
So what? Let the winds go wild,
let the volcanoes awakenā
**just let there be no war!**
Like golden dust, a halo of dreams,
above little heads,
and our love watching over them
like a lioness.
Bad news stirs youā
**just let there be no war!**
You know what? Let the seas flood everything,
let the glaciers collapse, let the eternal snows melt.
So what? Let the rains never stop,
let the thunder go madā
**just let there be no war!**
You know what? Let times be overturned,
let the stars be disturbed, let the mountains move.
So what? Let the winds go wild,
let the volcanoes awakenā
**just let there be no war!**
**Just let there be no war, no madness among people,**
the great ones feed us illusions,
they scare us with all sorts of wonders,
they ruin every fairytaleā
**just let there be no war!**
**Just let there be no war, no madness among people,**
the great ones feed us illusions,
they scare us with all sorts of wonders,
they ruin every fairytaleā
**just let there be no war!**
