Plakala
Divokej Bill Lyrics

The song "Plakala" by Divokej Bill tells the story of the singer's tumultuous and passionate relationship with a woman who is constantly leaving him and causing him pain. The lyrics describe her various actions, such as circling around him, covering his back, having sex with him, and smoking, while she is driven by her desires and love for him. However, despite her intense feelings, she often runs away from him, unable to handle their relationship.

The chorus repeats the phrase "moje milá plakala," which means "my lover was crying," emphasizing her sadness and possibly regret for her actions. The singer also expresses his worry that she may not return to him, as he tells the listener to greet the travelers and acknowledges the uncertainty and danger of their world.

The song is a reflection on the intense and complicated emotions that can arise in relationships and the fear that they may not last. It also touches on themes of regret, loss, and uncertainty.
