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.

Ula ulala
Haustor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Reci kak se zoves ti
I otkud ti snaga
Da me mozes povesti
Gore s moga dna
Oci su ti crvene
Ruka ti je blaga
Kao da su stvorene
Da ih ljubim ja

Al pred vratima skvadra ponovo rola

ULA ULALA LE
ULALALA ULALA ULALA LE
ULALALA U LE

Dok vani glazba svira
Pitat ces me tiho
Znas li gdje si
Ne mogu do glasa
Ti mi reci
Pokazi mi usne budi tko si
Ovo sto nas plasi
To su djavli
Od papira
Tvoja me ruka dira
Ali da otkrijemo sjaj sto dodir nosi
Morat cemo sresti dan kad bude vise mira

Jer na vratima stoji skvadra i urla
ULA ULALA LE
ULALALA ULALA ULALA LE
ULALALA U LE

Podjimo na selo
NA SELO
Podjimo na selo
Tamo jos ima mira
NA SELU
U peci je zar
Na prozoru rosa
Pustimo da svjetlo
Postane vosak

U peci je zar
Na celima znoj

A po poljima juri vjetar i urla
ULA ULALA LE

ULALALA ULALA ULALA LE
ULALALA U LE

Overall Meaning

The song Ula Ulala by Haustor tells the story of a man who is seduced by a mysterious woman with red eyes and gentle hands. The man is intrigued by her and wants to be led away from his mundane life. He is willing to follow her to the ends of the earth, but the woman disappears as soon as they reach the doorstep. The man is left wondering if she was real or just a product of his imagination.

The song has a dreamlike quality to it, with the lyrics painting a picture of a surreal world that is both magical and terrifying. The woman in the song represents the unknown, the things that we are drawn to but can never fully understand. She is a symbol of our deepest desires and fears. The music adds to this dreamlike quality, with haunting melodies and hypnotic rhythms that lull the listener into a trance-like state.

One interpretation of the song is that it is a commentary on the political situation in Yugoslavia at the time. The lyrics could be seen as a metaphor for the allure of communism, with the woman representing the promise of a better life. The chorus, which features the repeated phrase "Ula Ulala," could be interpreted as a call to action, urging people to rise up and fight for their rights.
