Azra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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.

jednog dana nema me nikada ne dodjem
One day I'll disappear and never come back
prijatelje koje znam ne poznajem kad prodjem
I don't recognize the friends I know when I walk by
kao da me nikada na svijetu nije bilo
It's as if I never existed in the world
kao da me njezino tijelo nije htilo
As if her body didn't want me
moja kita miruje a furala bi furke
My guitar is silent but it would like to play
lepe dekle moderne ne padaju na zurke
Beautiful modern girls don't go for parties
brijem bradu brkove da licim na pankrte
I'm growing a beard and mustache to look like a punk
jos da imam fendera vidio bi svirke
If only I had a Fender I'd see music playing
balkane balkane moj budi mi silan i dobro mi stoj
Balkans, my homeland, be strong and suit me well
mi smo ljudi cigani sudbinom prokleti
We are Roma people cursed by destiny
uvijek neko oko nas dodje pa nam prijeti
There's always someone threatening us
ni bendovi vise nisu kao sto su bili
Even the bands are not what they used to be
moj se amaterski priprema da snimi
I'm getting ready to record as an amateur
