Thompson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ne čuješ ih, ne čuješ ih ti,
A zoru smo, a zoru smo
S njima čekali.
Zaustila zemlja tvoje ime.
Spavaju mi u njoj sokoli.
Ne zovi me, ne zovi me,
Rosa, rosa, rosa
Sad te pokriva.
Hej, rosa, rosa, rosa
Sad te pokriva.
Zašutila pjesma kao more,
Ostavlja me sunce, ostavlja.
Nema zore, nema dana,
Prijatelja stara.
Rosa, rosa, rosa
Sad te pokriva.
Hej, rosa, rosa, rosa
Sad te pokriva.
The above lyrics are from the song "Rosa" by Thompson. The song seems to be about a person, most likely a woman, who has passed away. The first paragraph talks about how the birds are singing in the distance, but the person cannot hear them. The singer and the person they are singing about waited for dawn with the birds, but the person is now gone. The second paragraph talks about how the earth has silenced the person's name, and how they now rest with the falcons. The singer begs the person not to call them, as they cannot come to see them anymore.
The chorus repeats the name "Rosa" over and over again, as if calling out to the person who has passed away. The following verses talk about how the singer is left alone without their friend, with no more sunrises or days to look forward to. The song is a mournful ode to a loved one who has left this life, and the singer is left trying to make sense of their absence.

Zapjevale ptice u daljini,
The birds in the distance start to sing
Ne čuješ ih, ne čuješ ih ti,
But you cannot hear them
A zoru smo, a zoru smo
We waited for the dawn
S njima čekali.
Together with the birds
Zaustila zemlja tvoje ime.
The land has silenced your name
Spavaju mi u njoj sokoli.
Falcons sleep in it
Ne zovi me, ne zovi me,
Don't call me
Ne mogu ti doći
I cannot come to you
Rosa, rosa, rosa
Dew, dew, dew
Sad te pokriva.
Now covers you
Hej, rosa, rosa, rosa
Oh, dew, dew, dew
Zašutila pjesma kao more,
The song yearns like the sea
Ostavlja me sunce, ostavlja.
Leaving me behind with the sun
Nema zore, nema dana,
There's no dawn, there's no day
Prijatelja stara.
My old friend
