Thompson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Grabovčeva lijepa kći,
gdje iz kamena voda teče
na Hercegovu tlu,
gdje iz kamena raste cvijeće
u sjećanje na nju.
Dušman tuče, mlado tijelo ubija,
molitva je na usnama,
bila joj za kraj.
Umre tijelo, al duša ode
u Gospin zagrljaj.
Diva, Diva Grabovčeva,
zauvijek na nebu sja.
Teče voda Hercegova,
tamo gdje bi njezin kraj.
Pogledaj u oči našim ženama,
i kad vidiš jedan divan sjaj,
to je Diva Grabovčeva,
još je ona živa znaj.
Teče voda Hercegova,
tamo gdje bi njezin kraj.
Diva, Diva Grabovčeva,
zauvijek na nebu sja.
Teče voda Hercegova,
tamo gdje bi njezin kraj.
INSTRUMENTAL
Surovo je ovo vrijeme, ljudi zli,
vlada opći nespokoj,
ja se osjećam bolje kada pjevam ti o njoj,
o toj ženi, čistoj, hrabroj,
Divi Grabovčevoj.
Diva, Diva Grabovčeva,
zauvijek na nebu sja,
teče voda Hercegova,
tamo gdje bi njezin kraj
Diva, Diva Grabovčeva,
zauvijek na nebu sja,
teče voda Hercegova,
tamo gdje bi njezin kraj.
The song "Diva Grabovčeva" by Thompson tells a story of a brave and beautiful girl called Diva Grabovčeva who lived in ancient times in Herzegovina. She lived by a stream in a place surrounded by flowers, and her innocent nature and beauty made her stand out. However, her life was cut short by the enemy who killed her in his attempt to take over the land. Her last moments were of prayer on her lips, and as her body died, her soul went up to heaven in the embrace of the Virgin Mary.
The song's chorus talks about how Diva Grabovčeva shines forever in the sky, where the stream in Herzegovina she used to live by still runs. The closing lines of the song are empowering and are meant to inspire and remind women of their strength and beauty in the face of adversity. The lyrics encourage all women to look within themselves for the courage and strength of the brave and noble Diva Grabovčeva.

Bila jednom u tim davnim danima,
Once upon a time in those ancient times,
Grabovčeva lijepa kći,
There was a beautiful daughter of Grabovac,
gdje iz kamena voda teče
Where water flows from the stone
na Hercegovu tlu,
On the soil of Herzegovina,
gdje iz kamena raste cvijeće
Where flowers grow from the stone
u sjećanje na nju.
In memory of her.
Dušman tuče, mlado tijelo ubija,
The enemy strikes, kills the young body,
u oku joj gasi nevin sjaj,
Extinguishes the innocent shine in her eyes,
molitva je na usnama,
Prayer is on her lips
bila joj za kraj.
It was for her end.
Umre tijelo, al duša ode
The body dies, but the soul goes
u Gospin zagrljaj.
Into the embrace of the Virgin Mary.
Diva, Diva Grabovčeva,
Diva, Diva Grabovčeva,
zauvijek na nebu sja.
Forever shines in the sky.
Teče voda Hercegova,
Water flows from Herzegovina,
tamo gdje bi njezin kraj.
Where her end would be.
Pogledaj u oči našim ženama,
Look into the eyes of our women,
i kad vidiš jedan divan sjaj,
And when you see a beautiful shine,
to je Diva Grabovčeva,
That is Diva Grabovčeva,
još je ona živa znaj.
Know that she is still alive.
Surovo je ovo vrijeme, ljudi zli,
This is a cruel time, evil people,
vlada opći nespokoj,
There is an overall unrest,
ja se osjećam bolje kada pjevam ti o njoj,
I feel better when I sing to you about her,
o toj ženi, čistoj, hrabroj,
About that woman, pure and brave,
Divi Grabovčevoj.
Diva Grabovčeva.
