The band … Read Full Bio ↴Let 3 is a rock band from Rijeka, Croatia formed in 1987.

The band frontmen are Damir Martinović - Mrle and Zoran Prodanović - Prlja. Their music can be described as rock with elements of punk music and folk music. Band is popular in Croatia as well as other former Yugoslav republic due to their original approach to rock music and their obscene live performances with lots of nudity, often polarising the public of the region.

The band is notorious for their unprecedented, controversial and sometimes obscene performances. Their album "Nečuveno" (trans. Outrageous or Unheard of) was distributed as a CD which had nothing recorded on it - not even silence, it was just a piece of plastic. Nonetheless, it sold 350 copies. The following album "Jedina" (trans. The only one) was first recorded in only one copy which the band refused to sell or distribute.

Few months after the "release" they decided to release the album in 3 slightly different versions. In 2000 they staged suicide by firing squad on Ban Jelačić square - the central square in Zagreb, Croatian capital.

Let 3 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gledam u tužnu jesenju noć
s pokisle grane lišće odpada
u daljini čujem muziku neku
i pitam sebe, gdje li si sada

Ja svakog dana proklinjem sebe
zašto te drugom prepustih lako
pjevao sam pjesme, nado se boljem

i bezbroj puta uz gitaru plako

Nisi me voljela u ono vrijeme
a ja sam želio samo jedno...
sad kada nismo ni mladi ko nekada
dođi da ostarimo zajedno...

Da li još pamtiš ljubavi moja
kako smo ruže zajedno brali
gdje li si sada mladosti mojaaaa
zašto su tebe od mene ukrali

... Achtung, achtung
Ein animalischen sex
mit die zwei Penzioneren
Sport und elegantisch
Oder extravagantisch
Atentione, atentione
Für die grosse Erection
Liebe Penis, liebe zwei
Liebe sex abnormal

Nisi me voljela u ono vrijeme
a ja sam želio samo jedno...

Nisi me voljela u ono vrijeme
a ja sam želio samo jedno...

sad kada nismo ni mladi ko nekada
dođi da ostarimo zajedno..

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Let3's song "Dijete U Vremenu" speak of a person reflecting on a sad autumn night. The sound of music can be heard in the distance, causing the person to wonder where their past love is in that moment. The person expresses regret for allowing their former love to go to someone else so easily. They recall singing songs, longing for something better while crying with their guitar. In the past, the person's love for their partner was unrequited, but now that they are older, the singer asks their former partner to come back to them so they can grow old together. The song then takes an unexpected turn, as the lyrics take on a sexual nature, talking about animalistic sex with pensioners and the importance of penis love. The lyrics shift back to the original theme, repeating the same lines about lost love and regret.

This song by Let3 is a beautiful expression of the pain of lost love and the regret that comes with it. The imagery of the autumn night, the sound of falling rain, and the haunting voice of the singer all add to the melancholy feel of the song. The singer's desperation is palpable, as they cry out for their former love who has moved on without them. The sudden shift in lyrics, to the themes of sex with pensioners, is jarring and unexpected, adding a humorous element to the song. Despite the abrupt deviation, the theme of lost love and regret remains at the center of the song.

Line by Line Meaning

Gledam u tužnu jesenju noć
I am looking at a sad autumn night

s pokisle grane lišće odpada
Where wet branches shed leaves

u daljini čujem muziku neku
I hear some music in the distance

i pitam sebe, gdje li si sada
And ask myself, where are you now?

Ja svakog dana proklinjem sebe
Everyday I curse myself

zašto te drugom prepustih lako
For giving you easily to someone else

pjevao sam pjesme, nado se boljem
I sang songs, hoping for the best

i bezbroj puta uz gitaru plako
And cried many times with my guitar

Nisi me voljela u ono vrijeme
You did not love me back then

a ja sam želio samo jedno...
And I wanted only one thing...

sad kada nismo ni mladi ko nekada
Now that we are no longer young like before
