Dunaj
Bad Karma Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
čierny les a v ňom si stále ty.
Kam ma privedieš, kam ma zavedie,
deti na ceste, meníš svoj štýl.
Tvoje posolstvá, všetky dotyky,
ktorými hladíš chladné steny,
bytov a domov, kúsky života,
všetko sme prežili,
kde je koniec náš.
Veľa vody tečie,
Dunajom sa nesie.
Dolu po rieke, papierová loď,
čierny les a v ňom si stále ty.
Kam ma privedieš, kam ťa zavedie,
deti na ceste, meníš svoj štýl.
Svoje posolstvá, všetky dotyky,
ktorými hladíš chladné steny,
bytov a domov, kúsky života,
všetko sme prežili,
kde je koniec náš.
Veľa vody tečie,
Dunajom sa nesie.
Veľa vody tečie,
Dunajom sa nesie.
Vodopád tieni riečne zákruty,
meander slov čo vykopali zákopy.
Vodopád tieni riečne zákruty,
meander slov a človek čo ťa pochopí.
Veľa vody tečie,
Dunajom sa nesie.
Veľa vody tečie,
Dunajom sa nesie.
The song "Dunaj" by Bad Karma Boy is a melancholy reflection on the passage of time and the inevitability of change. The lyrics describe a journey down a river on a paper boat, accompanied by the image of a dark forest and the memory of someone who has been left behind. The singer is uncertain of where the journey will lead them, but they are accompanied by the presence of children and a shifting style that has changed over time.
Throughout the song, the singer reflects on the various messages and memories that they have encountered over the course of their life. They have experienced love, loss, and change, and have been shaped by their environment and the people in their life. Despite this, they remain unsure of where their journey will end, and whether their experiences have led them to a meaningful conclusion.
The repeated refrain of "Veľa vody tečie, Dunajom sa nesie" emphasizes the idea of constant flow and change. The river becomes a metaphor for the passage of time and the inevitability of change, regardless of one's own wishes or desires. The song ultimately leaves the listener with a sense of uncertainty and resignation, as the singer continues on their journey without a clear destination in sight.
