Amin
Riblja Corba Lyrics

The song "Amin" by Riblja Corba is about mourning and finding peace in death. The first verse "Zapali svecu za pokojne / Za nasu izgubljenu srecu / Nase su duse sad spokojne / Molim te, bar jednu svecu" translates to "Light a candle for the deceased / For our lost happiness / Our souls are now peaceful / Please, just one candle." The singer is asking for a small offering, a single candle, to pay respects to the deceased and to find peace for their souls. The second verse "Ja ti pomoci stvarno ne mogu / Misli na buducu decu / Idi u crkvu, pomoli se Bogu / Naravno, i svome svecu" translates to "I really can't help you / Think of the future children / Go to the church, pray to God / Of course, also pray to your candle." Here, the singer acknowledges that they cannot physically help the deceased, but encourages those left behind to find hope in the future and to find comfort in their faith.

The chorus "Na dnu svake jame / Came kosti same / I govore kosti: / Boze im oprosti / Na dnu svake jame / Came kosti same / Boze, oprosti im sve!" translates to "At the bottom of every pit / The bones are the same / And the bones speak out: / God, forgive them / At the bottom of every pit / The bones are the same / God, forgive them all!" Here, the singer reflects on the fact that in death, all bodies are the same and beg for forgiveness from a higher power. The final verse "Tako mi srece i ocinjeg vida / Tako mi dodira i sluha / U ime Oca, i ime Sina / I Svetog Duha / Amin" translates to "By my luck and by my sight / By my touch and by my hearing / In the name of the Father, and the Son / And the Holy Spirit / Amen." The singer concludes the song by solidifying their faith in a higher power and praying in the name of the Holy Trinity.
