1. YEARS GO BY

as from the window of a cellar
you see just a little bit of sky
so not seeing years go by
so not seeing years go by

are there trousers or is a skirt
it's the same years go by
so not seeing years go by
so not seeing years go by

an eye cannot see all
destiny is shrouded by seven veils
so not seeing years go by
so not seeing years go by

love does not reach all hearts
two tree flowers bloom on the wasteland
so not seeing years go by
so not seeing years go by

oy ya na na oya na na na na
oy ya na na oya na na na na
ooooy

2. ALL FADES AWAY

on this world all things are changing
now rising now descending

all that comes also fades away
all that comes fades

on this world all things are changing
now pushing you now stopping you

all that fades away is not returning
all that fades away does not return

3. LUCY DON'T CRY
(THE WIND AROSE)

the wind arose
stretched the sheets
running she came
to foreign gates

bellow vineyards the olive-grows
and the boat in the bay
the one that he made
he was already known by all

Lucy don't cry

the wind arose
scattered the hay
and timid words
in front of her garden.

Lucy don't cry

(Danijel Na?inovi? )

4. WHAT DOES THE SEA TELL ME

what does the sea tell me
what does the sea tell me
from here the end is far
and why do the boats keep moving
at the setting of the sun

he became bored and went away
he became bored and went

(Daniel Na?inovi? )

5. A LITTLE SONG

a beautiful day lives
under the sky
blissful
the hot sun is shining
the cicada sings
o how it sings
whwn she sings
she falls in love
she falls in love like me

a single caress
on my body
new
the garlick is sprouting
in the garden
with limpid movement
it grow
between the rows it all laughs
it all laughs like me

(Loredana Bogliun)

6. SEXROLLING

Mount U?ka will again, again be perforated
our mount our soil once more will be holed
ow ow ow ow and yeeow

But one must endure all, and should for that
always virginity be given as a gift

Zumpa pa pa zumpa pa pa zumpa pa pa
ow ow ow ow and yeeow

Two holes U?ka, U?ka will now have
she impish woman, an easy lay will be called

Push, push till there are intruders in the bush
push, push till there are intruders in the bush

Zumpa pa pa zumpa pa pa zumpa pa pa
ow ow ow ow and yeeow

my nice sweety, can you be taken at anyone's wish
my nice sweety you'd like to, you would, but it is tricky

Zumpa pa pa zumpa pa pa zumpa pa pa

ow ow ow ow and yeeow

U?ka needs a good vibrator, U?ka needs a good vibrator
the size of breasts, the size of a whale

Push, push till there are intruders in the bush
push, push till there are intruders in the bush

(Drago Orli?)

7. DUET

i know i haven’t always been
as the day our love was born
you know a firm hand is better
pressing than caressing
aye, without you i can’t live
sleep under the moon
walk under the sun
what love is i knew nothing
till i gave my self to you
forever the heart, my heart
my heart will beat for you
forever in the soul, in my soul
in my soul you will abide
forever in the eyes, in my eyes
in my eyes you will shine
for you my soul sings
for you i am alive

(Daniel Na?inovi?)

8. DESIRE

to search every bit of your body,
that's what I would, if only I could

and always be with you my sweety,
that's what I would, if only I could

two worlds apart no more are we
but one are now you and me

two bodies apart no more are we
but only one you and me

9. YOUR FATE HAS COME

ow your fate has come
but your fate has come
ow your fate has come
to cheat you

ow you always hurried
you never stopped
ow as your poor soul thought
that so you would quicker make it

what you really wanted
the fate has entrapped
no more you knew where you arrived
where you arrived and how to stop

at the end you understood
you were forbidden to perceive
as something you are chasing
always runs away

ow your fate has come
but your fate has come
it has anyway come
to cheat you

everybody bears the proper cross
as one knows as one can (better or worse)
our fate with good and bad
to everyone the own fate arrives
and the own fate everybody grasps
to everyone the fate back returns

10. THE MAIDEN

the maiden carried the water
and seng a song
la la la la la la la
the maiden spilled the water,
but the song remained
la la la la la la la
the water dripped
and dripped
the maiden cried and cried
a teardrop

11. SHE WAS WAITING

On the window the young maid was waiting
aye, her children were playing in the yard
her husband she was waiting
to come faster
by cart he was rushing
him she was waiting
to love her

aye, the sheets smell of the night to her
to think of the night it gives her shivers
him she was waiting
by cart he was rushing
him she was waiting

12. DARK EVIL

all cats scratch me
and all dogs bite me
all bulls kick me
and all ants nip at me
all water drowns me
fingers touch me
tongues lick me
all eyes are on me
all ears listen to me
all knives cut me
all scissors clip me
all scythes sweep me
all sickles reap me
all grindstones grind me
all pliers squeeze me
all hammers smite me
all ropes tie me
and all scales measure me
there is nobody for God’s sake
who could help me
who could find
his and my own
guilt and justice

(Milan Rakovac)
