The CD TRIADE is an absolute masterpece and probably the best jazz
that has ever appeared in Croatia
"Triade are a complex musical work intended for jazz connoisseurs, people who have attuned their ears listening to the records released by ECM and other discographic houses of similar aesthetic, sufficiently distant from what is commonly defined as "mainstream jazz"
Ton?i Bibi?, Vijenac, January 1998.
1. ŠENICA
glej tamo zdolu se lela šenica
aj pod nogami trpi crljenica
moja mi duša leti kakoj tica
tanananaj
?rni su vrhi kadi sunce zajde
mrzla je bura ?a dube ubajde
sprida je vala
maj uzada su brajde , ooj
1. WHEAT
look downthere the weat is rippling
under our feet the red land is suffering
my, my soul is flying like a bird
ta na na naj...
the peak are dark where the sun sets
the wind is cold which searches the trees
a valley is front, the vineyards’ re behind
ta na na naj...
2. ZAKANTAJ
dojdi dojdi
snamom zakantaj
kad kantaš
je laglje zaj na kraj
2. SING
come, come
sing with me
when you sing
it's easier to go on
3. PREDI Š?I MOJA
predi predi š?i moja
sako lito jenu nit
?eš se brže joženit
za volara š?i moja
majko moja volar vore
kada vore malo vore
aj kad vore pak ne more
ne?u majko volara
predi predi š?i moja
sako lito jenu nit
?eš se brže joženit
za pekjara š?i moja
majko moja pekjar prosi
?a naprosi doma nosi
ja ?u sisti pak ?u jisti
ja ?u majko pekjara
spin spin my daughter
a thread every year
if you spin you’ll marry sooner
for a ploughmen my daughter
mother dear the ploughmen is ploughing
when he’s ploughing he doesn’t plough much
and when he’s ploughing he is of no use
i don’t want a ploughmen mother
spin spin my daughter
a thread every year
if you spin you’ll marry sooner
for a beggar my daughter
mother dear the beggar is begging
what he manages to beg he brings home
i will sit and then i will eat
i shell marry a beggar mother
4. CHILDREN SONG
A beautiful day is shining
children playing
laughter is all around
Innocent id their joy
oh children playing
under the rainbow they’re
finding without searching
for happiness
la la la la la
It’s children’s song
It’s children’s song
6. ONCE UPON A LONG AGO
In springtime once upon a long ago
People had a good time
dancing laughin’ with the god himself
being happy as a child
swayin’, prayin’
never sayin’ wrong words
or making wrong moves
Meantime
time was bringin’ our age
life was changin’ stage
at the same time
we were changing our face
but hearts remained the same
swayin’, prayin’
never ssayin’ wrong words
or makin’ wrong moves
Forgotten time of an ancient tribe forgotten time in our minds
