Zvona Moga Grada
klapa Šufit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Zvonila su za oluje
zvonila su za vjenčanja
zvonila su za živote
i za zadnja putovanja

Kao neka vječna glazba
naše slave, našeg jada
zvonila su od davnina
stara zvona moga grada

Boga su i ljude zvala
za trabakul koji tone
zvonila su, zvonila su
za gromače i balkone

Skupljala su naše lađe
kao ptice svoga gnijezda
ko da srce majke kuca
u zvoniku ispod zvijezda

Dok spavaju stare luke
i treperi plavi svod
zvonici su kao ruke
koje prate bijeli brod

U kamenu nema neba
čovjek prođe težak put
al' su jednom kad ih trebam
stara zvona opet tu

Pričaju nam našu povijest
brižno kao otac sinu
u večeri kao ova
izlila su svu toplinu

Kao neka vječna glazba
kolijevki, kolonada




slušajte ih kako zvone
stara zvona moga grada

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Zvona Moga Grada" by Klapa Sufit pay tribute to the old bells of the singer's city. The bells have rung for various events, such as storms, weddings, and funerals, and they have served as a constant reminder of the city's history and traditions. The bells are portrayed as a timeless music that reflects the joys and sorrows of the people.


The bells have been ringing for a long time, even since ancient times when they served as a call to God and people. They have sounded for important moments like when a ship is sinking or when someone is departing for the last time. The bells have been a witness to the city's history and have kept it alive through their melodies. The lyrics liken the bells to a mother's heart that beats for her children, a symbolic representation that reflects the importance and care for the city and its inhabitants.


The final verse of the song describes the bells as storytellers that share the city's tales as a father would for his son. They offer comfort and warmth during the evening, reminding people of their community and heritage. The lyrics emphasize the importance of listening to the bells and their stories, allowing them to echo through the city's streets as they have for generations.

The bells rang for weddings

The bells have been ringing since ancient times


stara zvona moga grada
The old bells of my city


Boga su i ljude zvala
They called God and people


za trabakul koji tone
For the sinking fishing boat


zvonila su, zvonila su
They rang and rang


za gromače i balkone
For bonfires and balconies


Skupljala su naše lađe
They gathered our ships


kao ptice svoga gnijezda
Like birds to their nests


ko da srce majke kuca
As if a mother's heart beats


u zvoniku ispod zvijezda
In the bell tower under the stars


Dok spavaju stare luke
While the old harbors sleep


i treperi plavi svod
And the blue vault trembles


zvonici su kao ruke
The bell towers are like hands


koje prate bijeli brod
That follow the white ship


U kamenu nema neba
There is no sky in stone


čovjek prođe težak put
Man goes through a hard journey


al' su jednom kad ih trebam
But once I need them


stara zvona opet tu
The old bells are here again


Pričaju nam našu povijest
They tell us our history


brižno kao otac sinu
Carefully like a father to his son


u večeri kao ova
On an evening like this


izlila su svu toplinu
They poured out all their warmth


Kao neka vječna glazba
Like some eternal music


kolijevki, kolonada
Of cradles and colonnades


slušajte ih kako zvone
Listen how they ring


stara zvona moga grada
The old bells of my city
