Balkan
Azra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

jednog dana nema me nikada ne dodjem
prijatelje koje znam ne poznajem kad prodjem
kao da me nikada na svijetu nije bilo
kao da me njezino tijelo nije htilo

moja kita miruje a furala bi furke
lepe dekle moderne ne padaju na zurke
brijem bradu brkove da licim na pankrte
jos da imam fendera vidio bi svirke

balkane balkane moj budi mi silan i dobro mi stoj

mi smo ljudi cigani sudbinom prokleti
uvijek neko oko nas dodje pa nam prijeti
ni bendovi vise nisu kao sto su bili
moj se amaterski priprema da snimi

balkane balkane moj budi mi silan i dobro mi stoj

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Azra's song Balkan express a sense of disillusionment and disconnect with the world. The singer says that one day they won't be around anymore, and even their old friends won't recognize them when they walk by. They feel like they never existed to begin with, and as if their lover (njezino tijelo) never wanted them. They paint a picture of feeling lost and unwanted in the world.


The next verse shows the singer dreaming of a different life. They say that their guitar is collecting dust, but they wish they had a chance to play it at parties that modern girls attend. They also mention that they're growing out their facial hair to look like a punk-rocker. The singer wants to be noticed and loved, but feels like they're not fitting in with the people around them.


The chorus, "Balkan, Balkan, my be mighty and look good on me," brings the idea of longing for home and finding strength in one's roots. The singer feels disconnected from the world, but still wants to feel empowered and strong. They wish that the Balkans, where they are from, could provide this strength to them.


Overall, the song Balkan expresses the feeling of disconnection and longing for a deeper sense of belonging and connection with others.
