In Ko Enkrat Bom Umrl
Magnifico Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

V nebesih se je vnel prepir,
ko sva kalila nočni mir.
Odkrival sem svet neznan,
vsak poljub je zame bil vulkan.

In ko enkrat bom umrl
in ti boš daleč proč
ne mi sveč prižigat

spomni se na božično noč.

Aleluja baby, baby,
telo in dušo sem ti dal

hvaležna si bila, ko
Satana iz tebe ven sem gnal.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Magnifico's song "In Ko Enkrat Bom Umrl" paint a picture of a tumultuous relationship between two individuals. The first verse sets the tone with the line "V nebesih se je vnel prepir," which translates to "In heaven, an argument broke out." The singer reflects on a night where they disturbed the peace, likely by fighting with their companion. Despite this, the singer continues to explore the world and everything it has to offer. They describe every kiss as a volcano, indicating a passionate and intense relationship.

The chorus delves into the idea of mortality and separation. The singer contemplates what will happen when they die and their companion is far away. They implore their partner not to light a candle in their memory, but rather to remember a specific night, the "božično noč" or Christmas Eve. The stanza gives a mournful tone to the song, as the singer recognizes the fleeting nature of their relationship and hopes to leave a lasting memory.

The final stanza takes an unexpected turn, borrowing religious imagery as the singer claims to have driven the devil out of their partner. They end the song with a playful "Aleluja baby, baby" suggesting that despite the challenges, there is still a sense of joy and humor in the relationship. Overall, "In Ko Enkrat Bom Umrl" is a complex and multilayered song that explores both the ups and downs of love.

And when I die someday

remember the Christmas night.

you were grateful when
