Thompson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jugokomunističkim ostacima,
Koji se vežu i sa crnim vragom
Protiv Hrvatske slobode i Hrvatse nezavisnosti.
Ne samo sa crnim, nego i zelenim i žutim vragovima,
Koji se povezuju, sa svim protivnicima Hrvatske samostalnosti.
Ne samo povezuju, nego im se nude!
Ne samo da im se nude, nego im se prodaju,
(...)
Dobrodošli prijatelji moji
Hvala Bogu opet smo se sreli
čisto srce nikog se ne boji
Makar su nas ušutkati htjeli
Naše pjesme tuku sa svih strana
O kom pišu glava mu se traži
Po metodi jugokomunista
Tri put slaži, istina ne važi
Nebom lete šišmiši i vrane
Al′ je soko za njih previsoko
Nebom lete šišmiši i vrane
Al' dok je zla bit će i anđela
(...)
Dobrodošli prijatelji moji
Neka zvone poznati refreni,
A podvale ′ko ih više broji
Pa šta i ako nismo u Areni
Još govore da smo kontroverzni
Ali to su kučine i trice
Argumenti podli i bezvezni
Istinu im kažimo u lice
Nebom lete šišmiši i vrane
Al' je soko za njih previsoko
Nebom lete šišmiši i vrane
Al' dok je zla bit će i anđela
(...)
Nek′ nebo s nama svira
Svoj put nek svatko bira
Na sve što kažu lažno
Mi ćemo pjesmom snažno
I uvijek kad smo skupa
Srce mi jače lupa
Opet nam snaga dođe
Sve što nas boli prođe
(...)
Nek′ se noćas pjeva
Nek' se noćas svira
Neka nebom lete golubovi mira
Hej, hej, hej, stisni šaku, zapjevaj
Hej, hej, hej, dobar je to osjećaj
Nebom lete šišmiši i vrane
Al′ je soko za njih previsoko
Nebom lete šišmiši i vrane
Al' dok je zla bit će i anđela
The song "Dobrodošli" by the Croatian band Thompson is an anthem of pride for the Croatian people, particularly in the fight for independence and freedom. The lyrics condemn those who sided with the Communist regime of Yugoslavia and those who continue to work against Croatian freedom, even selling out their country for their own gain. The song is a call to arms for those who stand for an independent Croatia to rally together and continue the fight against those who seek to undermine their sovereignty.
The lyrics evoke images of bravery and resilience, highlighting the strength of the Croatian people in the face of adversity. The references to "shišmiši i vrane" (bats and crows) represent the obstacles and challenges faced by the Croatian people, but the "soko" (falcon) represents the determination and perseverance of the Croatian people to rise above and overcome these obstacles. Despite the controversy surrounding the band and its perceived nationalist leanings, the song remains a powerful expression of pride and identity for many Croatians.
Overall, "Dobrodošli" is a powerful anthem that speaks to the strength and resilience of the Croatian people. Its message of pride and unity continues to resonate with many Croatians, particularly those who fought for independence and continue to work towards a free and sovereign Croatia.
