Thompson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a ja ne smijem ono sto je moje
jedini moj svijet.
I samo zato za njih sam fasista
a nikad nisam 'tio tuđe nista
samo nju, zemlju slobodnu.
makat nije uvijek sve po mome...
Napadaju ta sluganska pera
koda oni branili su sela
misevi, iz rupa izisli.
Eh sto im se ovampire lica
kad se vije nasa sahovnica
sveta zastava.
Mirno zivim ponosan na svome
makar nije uvijek sve po mome...
Ref.
Nek se cuje nek se zna
Nek vijori zastava
Neka niko ne dira
U moj mali dio svemira.
U eteru lazi obmanjuju ljude
tako lako pravdnima sude
jesam kriv, zato sto sam ziv.
Domoljublje prozvali fasizam
tako brne njihov komunizam
prozirna demagogija.
Mirno zivim ponosan na svome
makar nije uvijek sve po mome...

The lyrics to Thompson's song "Neka ni'ko ne dira u moj mali dio svemira" depict a sense of territorial pride and a struggle to defend one's own space amidst social and political controversies. The opening lines, "Istok zapad svako brani svoje, a ja ne smijem ono sto je moje, jedini moj svijet," translates to "East, West, everyone defends their own, but I'm not allowed to have what's mine, my only world." This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which goes on to describe the singer's frustration with being labeled as a "fascist" for his love of his own land and the struggles he faces against those who oppose him.
The lyrics go on to speak of being attacked by "sluganska pera" or "servile pens," and the contrast between the mice hiding in their holes versus the pride of the singer as his country's flag is raised. The final lines of the chorus, "Nek se cuje nek se zna, Nek vijori zastava, Neka niko ne dira, U moj mali dio svemira," translates to "Let it be heard, let it be known, Let the flag fly, Let no one touch, My small part of the universe."
The lyrics speak to themes of patriotism, territoriality, and the struggle against oppression. They depict a sense of defiance in the face of adversity, and the refusal to allow anyone to take away that which is dear to oneself. The song was well-received by Croatian audiences upon its release in 2002, and has since remained a popular anthem of sorts for those who identify strongly with Croatian heritage and culture.
