The core of the band was formed in 1977, when singer and occasional guitarist Darko Rundek met bassist Srđan Sacher. Two years later they formed Haustor with Boris Leiner (drums) and Ozren Štiglić (guitar). In 1980 they added a keyboardist and a brass section, and Haustor released its first album, "Haustor", in 1981. All of the songs were written by either Sacher or Rundek, and the Sacher-penned "Moja prva ljubav" ( "My first love" ) became a hit. After a pause, caused by the members' obligations in the Yugoslav People's Army, their second album, titled "Treći Svijet" ( "Third world" ), was released in 1984. However, soon afterwards Sacher left the band, leaving Rundek as the sole composer and lyricist of the band. Haustor released two more albums, "Bolero" (1985) and "Tajni grad" (1988), before breaking up in 1990.

Haustor Lyrics

Ja zelim te samo na cas
Minuta vec razdvoji nas

Vec me bodu tvoje oci
Vec me tvoja ceznja koci
Zelim te samo na cas

Taj s kim lezis vise nisam ja

Sto godina nas razdvaja

Ja vec trosim drugo vrijeme
Dok se svijas oko mene
Zelim te samo na cas

Samo na cas
Samo na cas
Samo na cas
Samo na cas

Ja zelim te samo na cas
Minuta vec je minula

Ja vec trosim drugo vrijeme
Dok se svijas oko mene
Zelim te samo na cas

Samo na cas
Samo na cas

Samo na cas
Samo na cas

Overall Meaning

The song "Samo Na Čas" by Haustor portrays the emotions of a person who wants to spend some time with their significant other, even if it is just for a few moments. The lyrics suggest that they have been apart for a while and that someone else is now in their loved one's life, but the desire to be with them still lingers. The singer expresses their frustration with the situation and the pain that is caused by the longing for their partner’s attention. The phrase "Ja zelim te samo na cas" implies that they do not want a long-term commitment, but merely a brief moment to satisfy their feelings. The chorus repeats the phrase "Samo na cas" (just for a moment) to emphasize this point.

The second verse reveals that the singer is already spending their time with someone else, but their thoughts are still consumed by their former partner. The line "Vec me tvoja ceznja koci" (Your longing is already holding me back) suggests that they feel trapped in this situation, as the memory of the past relationship continues to affect them. The song ends with a sense of sadness as the singer realizes that even a moment with their loved one is impossible, as time will continue to separate them.

Overall, Haustor's "Samo Na Čas" is a poignant portrayal of the pain caused by a love that cannot be fulfilled, even for brief moments.
