Mesiac
Heľenine Oči Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ako temný sen
Prihnal sa ten deň
Keď pápežovi križiaci
Skrášliť si chceli deň
S krížmi na krku
Vtrhli na lúku
Poď dievča dáme reč,
Nám neutečieš preč

Dobre mesiac, dobre si svietil

Naša malá Jolana
Už môže ísť do raja
Zvalili ju do prachu
A striedali sa do rána
Po tom prudkom chtíči
Dieťa v Tebe klíči
Kašli na to, zatvor dvere,
Ber to skrátka uvoľnene

Dobre mesiac, dobre si svietil.

Mesiac mesiac mesiac mesiac
Mesiac mesiac mesiac svieti

Mesiac mesiac mesiac mesiac
Mesiac svieti na rómské deti.

Dobre mesiac, dobre si svietil.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Mesiac" by Heľenine Oči speak of a dark day when the Pope's crusaders arrived, intending to beautify their day. These crusaders, with crosses around their necks, invaded a meadow and demanded to speak with the girls. The singer urges the girl named Jolana to come forward and engage in conversation, assuring her that she cannot escape. The song then shifts to describe Jolana being pushed into the dust and how men took turns with her until morning. Despite this violent act, a child begins to grow inside Jolana due to an intense desire. The singer advises Jolana to forget about it, close the door, and take it easy. The repeated phrase "Dobre mesiac, dobre si svietil" (Good moon, you shone well) expresses a sense of irony or bitterness, as the moon witnessed these events and stood silently by.

Ako temný sen
Like a dark dream

Prihnal sa ten deň
That day arrived

Keď pápežovi križiaci
When the Pope's crusaders

Skrášliť si chceli deň
Wanted to beautify their day

S krížmi na krku
With crosses around their necks

Vtrhli na lúku
They burst onto the meadow

Poď dievča dáme reč
Come, girl, let's talk

Nám neutečieš preč
You won't escape from us

Dobre mesiac, dobre si svietil
Good moon, you shone well

Naša malá Jolana
Our little Jolana

Už môže ísť do raja
Can go to heaven now
