Mista Riha i Mali Moca Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I cross the Green Mountain
I sit by the stream
Heaven blazing in my head I
I dreamt a monstrous dream
Something came up
Out of the sea
Swept through the land of
The rich and the free

I look into the eyes
of my merciful friend
And then I ask myself
Is this the end?
Memories linger
Sad yet sweet
And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet

Altars are burning
With flames far and wide
the foe has crossed over
from the other side
They tip their caps
from the top of the hill
You can feel them come
More brave blood to spill

Along the dim
Atlantic line
The ravaged land
lies for miles behind
the light's coming forward
and the streets are broad
all must yield
To the avenging God

The world is old
The world is grey
Lessons of life
Can't be learned in a day
I watch and I wait
And I listen while I stand
To the music that comes
from a far better land

Close the eyes
of our Captain
Peace may he know
His long night is done
The great leader is laid low
He was ready to fall
He was quick to defend
Killed outright he was
by his own men

It's the last day's last hour
of the last happy year
I feel that the unknown
The world is so near
Pride will vanish
And glory will rot
But virtue lives
and cannot be forgot

The bells
of evening have rung
there's blasphemy
on the end of the tongue
Let them say that I walked
in fair nature's light
And that I was loyal
to truth and to right

Serve God and be truthful
Look upward beyond
Beyond the darkness that masks
the surprises of dawn
In the deep green grasses
of the blood stained woods
They never dreamed of surrendering
They fell where they stood

Stars fell over Alabama
And I saw each star
You're walking in dreams
Whoever you are
Chilled as the skies
Keen as the frost
The ground's froze hard
And the morning is lost

A letter to mother
came today
Gunshot wound to the breast
is what it did say
But he'll be better soon
He's in a hospital bed
But he'll never be better
He's already dead

I'm ten miles outside the city
And I'm lifted away
In an ancient light
That is not of day
They were calm they were blunt
We knew them all too well




We loved each other more than
we ever dared to tell

Line by Line Meaning

I cross the Green Mountain
I journey through treacherous terrain


I sit by the stream
I pause and reflect by the flowing water


Heaven blazing in my head I
I feel inspired and touched by divinity


I dreamt a monstrous dream
I had a disturbing and vivid nightmare


Something came up
An unforeseeable event occurred


Out of the sea
From the depths of the ocean


Swept through the land of
Moved through the nation of


The rich and the free
People of wealth and liberty


I look into the eyes
I gaze deeply into the eyes


of my merciful friend
Of my kind and caring companion


And then I ask myself
I ponder to myself


Is this the end?
Is this truly the conclusion?


Memories linger
Recollections remain within my mind


Sad yet sweet
Bittersweet


And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet
I contemplate the reunion of heavenly souls


Altars are burning
Religious altars are lit ablaze


With flames far and wide
The fire burns extensively


the foe has crossed over
The enemy has infiltrated


from the other side
From the opposite direction


They tip their caps
They respectfully acknowledge


from the top of the hill
From the peak of the hill


You can feel them come
Their approach is palpable


More brave blood to spill
There will be more courageous people who will die


Along the dim
In the faint light


Atlantic line
Along the Atlantic coast


The ravaged land
The devastated terrain


lies for miles behind
Extends for miles in the background


the light's coming forward
The dawn is rising


and the streets are broad
The roads are wide


all must yield
Everyone must submit


To the avenging God
To the vengeful deity


The world is old
The world has existed for a long time


The world is grey
The world is dismal


Lessons of life
Teachings of existence


Can't be learned in a day
Cannot be understood quickly


I watch and I wait
I observe and anticipate


And I listen while I stand
And I hear while I remain immobile


To the music that comes
To the melody that approaches


from a far better land
From a superior place


Close the eyes
Shut the eyelids


of our Captain
Of our leader


Peace may he know
May he rest in peace


His long night is done
His lengthy ordeal is over


The great leader is laid low
The exceptional leader is defeated


He was ready to fall
He was prepared to fail


He was quick to defend
He was prompt to protect


Killed outright he was
He was slain immediately


by his own men
By individuals he trusted


It's the last day's last hour
It is the final day and past the final hour


of the last happy year
Of the previous joyous year


I feel that the unknown
I sense the unfamiliar


The world is so near
The world is in close proximity


Pride will vanish
Arrogance will disappear


And glory will rot
And fame will decay


But virtue lives
But morality endures


and cannot be forgot
And cannot be erased from memory


The bells
The ringing of the church bells


of evening have rung
Have signaled the end of the day


there's blasphemy
There is profanity


on the end of the tongue
On the verge of being uttered


Let them say that I walked
Allow them to say that I traversed


in fair nature's light
Amidst the natural beauty of the environment


And that I was loyal
And that I was devoted


to truth and to right
To honesty and righteousness


Serve God and be truthful
Worship God and be sincere


Look upward beyond
Gaze upward past


Beyond the darkness that masks
Beyond the obscurity that covers


the surprises of dawn
The unexpected events of daybreak


In the deep green grasses
Within the thick verdant blades


of the blood stained woods
Of the bloody forests


They never dreamed of surrendering
They never considered giving up


They fell where they stood
They died where they were positioned


Stars fell over Alabama
Meteoroids showered upon Alabama


And I saw each star
And I witnessed every celestial body


You're walking in dreams
You are living in an idealistic world


Whoever you are
Regardless of your identity


Chilled as the skies
As cold as the atmosphere


Keen as the frost
As sharp as the frozen dew


The ground's froze hard
The ground is frozen solidly


And the morning is lost
And the dawn has disappeared


A letter to mother
A correspondence to a maternal figure


came today
Was delivered today


Gunshot wound to the breast
Shot to the chest


is what it did say
This is what was written


But he'll be better soon
But he will recover soon


He's in a hospital bed
He is located in a hospital room


But he'll never be better
But he will never fully recuperate


He's already dead
He has already passed away


I'm ten miles outside the city
I am ten miles away from the city


And I'm lifted away
And I am carried away


In an ancient light
In an old illumination


That is not of day
That is night-like


They were calm they were blunt
They were composed and frank


We knew them all too well
We were familiar with all of them


We loved each other more than
We felt greater affection for each other than


we ever dared to tell
We never revealed to one another
