Requiem Lyrics English translation

Whenever I walk the street with your name
I think of that song
I've been singing it for years now
no one needs an old refrain

And people remember the songs for a short time, commander

The story about us will remain in books:
Balkans at the end of one century
Every tribe draws ther own border
Everyone would want their page

The dreams are melting as an iceberg, hey commander

The flags are on the barricades again
people are out as if t was a holiday
and they are taking children out of the morning classes
to see hungry workers

And where are we, naive
who stand up on the Hey SlavsDjordje Balasevic - Requiem - http://motolyrics.com/djordje-balasevic/requiem-lyrics-english-translation.html
as if we were made up of that story

Times are tricky for the guy like me
who minds his own business
I'm not crazy so that they could wind me up
I only have Yugoslavia

All of the other torches are burning without me, commander

And everyone is there to win that lottery
they are always the fastest on the barricades
but never the wisest

And where are we, naive
who stand up on the Hey Slavs
as if we were made up of that story

And tricked

and when I walk the street with your name
I think of panta rei
Some guy out there
will throw a rock on your monument too

Because everything changes, and everything flows... Man
