YU Grupa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ja stojim na obali i posmatram more
Pijanstvo neko ludo obuze mene
Gledajuci sunce i dugacke sene
Galebovi lete iznad mora plava
Ja gledam sav srecan pucinu gde spava
Volim ga ja ludo i idem mu sada
A vetar nad morem tad poce da duva
Zeleci da mladi taj zivot sacuva
No uzalud bese, more ga vec uze
Postavsi crveno kao majske ruze
The lyrics to YU Grupa's song More depict a scene of the singer standing on the shore at dawn, watching the sunrise and the sea. The singer is overcome by a drunkenness of sorts, possibly from the beauty of the scene before him. The seagulls fly above the blue sea, and the singer feels happy, watching the ocean sleeping peacefully. The singer professes his love for the sea and declares that he belongs to it deeply.
However, as the wind begins to blow over the sea, trying to save young life, it becomes clear that it is too late. The ocean has already taken someone, as the color of the water turns red like May roses. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but they paint a picture of beauty and loss, with the sea being both a force of nature that can be both calming and destructive.

Pesma sa prvog albuma (1973), odlična i nezaboravna, a donekle ostala u "senci" večnog "Crnog leptira"!
