Berlín
Bajaga Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Moj cale je hteo pešaka do Berlina,
Da uhvati licno Adolfa za uši,
A kada je stigao negde do Beca,
Vec su ga prestigli Ameri i Rusi.

Te zime je bilo vruce u Berlinu,
Na nebu je pisalo B-52
I veliki buketi od usijanog gvoždja,
Su padali na krovove
K'o grozdovi od groždja

Na Berlin,
Nisam mislio na Berlin,




Ja sam mislio na Berlin
Sa Berlincima.

Overall Meaning

The song Berlin by Bajaga i Instruktori speaks about the desire and attempt of the singer's father to walk all the way to Berlin and catch Adolf Hitler by the ears. However, on reaching Vienna, he realizes that the Americans and the Russians had already surpassed him. The song has a touch of humor and irony in it as it describes the ludicrous idea of catching Hitler by the ears, as well as the futility of the plan as the war was already over.


The second part of the song, however, speaks about a different Berlin in which the singer reconsidered his thoughts about the city. He no longer thought about it in terms of the events of the past, such as World War II, but instead in terms of the contemporary city and its people. The description of the Berlin of the present day paints a picture of a city under siege; the presence of B-52 on the sky, and the constant falling of hot metal bullets, creates a sense of fear and chaos. Despite this, the singer still thinks favorably of the people of Berlin, as he refers to them as Berlincima.


Line by Line Meaning

Moj cale je hteo pešaka do Berlina,
My dad wanted to walk to Berlin,


Da uhvati licno Adolfa za uši,
To personally grab Adolf by the ears,


A kada je stigao negde do Beca,
But when he got somewhere near Vienna,


Vec su ga prestigli Ameri i Rusi.
He was already passed by Americans and Russians.


Te zime je bilo vruce u Berlinu,
That winter was hot in Berlin,


Na nebu je pisalo B-52
B-52 was written in the sky,


I veliki buketi od usijanog gvoždja,
And big bouquets of glowing iron,


Su padali na krovove
Fell on the rooftops


K'o grozdovi od groždja
Like bunches of grapes.


Na Berlin,
About Berlin,


Nisam mislio na Berlin,
I didn't mean Berlin,


Ja sam mislio na Berlin
I meant Berliners.

Ovo je Nacionalna geografija
Srpski nacionalista iz pesme je nulti pozitivan na koronu u Srbiji koji nije izolovan na vreme
Odnosno
ODMAH
Odmakao je sa gerilcima i izazvao rat u Ukrajini
Pizda mu marsovsku
Lezbejska
Zombijska!
Pesma je to predvidela.

Nekad davno, kad sam bio četvrti-peti razred osnovne, išla je na TV-u muzička emisija Hit meseca i sjećam se da se ova pjesma jako dugo držala na prvom mjestu. Jedna od uspomena na dječačko doba...
