Thompson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Naša gruda, svi Hrvata mati,
Domove nam gaze, ruše, pale,
Smrt nam siju crvene granate.
Uplašeno tvoje srce malo,
Uplakano tvoje lice malo
Dok ja bandin, brojim zadnje dane,
Znam ja dušo da ti moliš za me.
Moli mala, moli dušo za me,
Bog i majka vole nas Hrvate,
žela nas na ovom lipom svitu,
U slobodnoj Hrvatskoj da živu.
Sve ćemo ih silom otjerati,
Domovini miean sam donijeti,
Bježat će i proklinjati majku,
što su došli u našu Hrvatsku,
Ne mogu nam ništa napraviti,
Snagom ćemo vječnoj postojati,
U Hrvatskoj stvoriti slobodu,
Cijelom našem Hrvatskome rodu.
The lyrics of Thompson's song "Moli Mala" express the pain and suffering of the Croatian people during the war that ravaged their country in the 1990s. The singer describes how Croatia is being destroyed and how Croatian homes are being demolished by enemy forces. The red grenades that bring death are a stark reminder of the brutal effects of war. The tone of the song is somber and reflective, with the singer acknowledging the fear and sadness of his fellow Croatians in the face of the conflict.
But despite the bleakness of the situation, the song also expresses a resolute determination to fight back and defend the motherland. The singer declares that he and his people will not be destroyed, and that they will return to their homes and live in a free Croatia. The chorus calls upon God and the motherland to protect the Croatian people, and the repeated refrain of "Moli mala, moli dušo za me" ("Pray, little one, pray for me") is a haunting plea for hope and salvation in the midst of turmoil.
Overall, "Moli Mala" is a poignant expression of the pain and hope of a people caught in the middle of a brutal war, and it speaks not just to the Croatian experience but to the universal human struggle against violence and oppression.

Hrvatska nam razrušena pati,
Our Croatia suffers ruined, destroyed
Naša gruda, svi Hrvata mati,
Our homeland, mother to all Croatians
Domove nam gaze, ruše, pale,
Our homes trampled, destroyed, burning
Smrt nam siju crvene granate.
Death brought upon us by explosions and gunfire
Uplašeno tvoje srce malo,
Your small heart scared
Uplakano tvoje lice malo
Your small face weeping
Dok ja bandin, brojim zadnje dane,
While I hide, counting my last days
Znam ja dušo da ti moliš za me.
I know my love, you're praying for me.
Moli mala, moli dušo za me,
Pray little one, pray my love for me,
Bog i majka vole nas Hrvate,
God and our mother love us Croatians,
Žele nas na ovom lipom svitu,
They want us in this beautiful world,
U slobodnoj Hrvatskoj da živu.
To live in a free Croatia.
Sve ćemo ih silom otjerati,
We'll forcefully chase them away,
Domovini miean sam donijeti,
I'll bring glory to our homeland,
Bježat će i proklinjati majku,
They'll run away and curse their mothers,
Što su došli u našu Hrvatsku,
For coming to our Croatia,
Ne mogu nam ništa napraviti,
They can't do anything to us,
Snagom ćemo vječnoj postojati,
We'll endure forever with our strength,
U Hrvatskoj stvoriti slobodu,
Creating freedom in Croatia,
Cijelom našem Hrvatskome rodu.
For all of our Croatian people.
