Lyrics

Lyrics:

U novembru devedeset pete
Plakao sam kao malo dete
U Ohaju na belom papiru
Potpisan je sporazum o miru

Gotove su mape
Bacaj u vis kape
Neko plače, neko peva
Žao mi je Sarajeva

Banja Luka slavila je cela
Grad Beograd i okolna sela
Sve je mirno na Palama bilo
Nikome se nije ni slavilo

Gotove su mape
Bacaj u vis kape
Negde slavlje, negde seta
Knin je tuđi - to mi smeta

Zaslužna je Amerika cela
Završila to što je počela
Ali ipak Ameri me brinu
Sve je ovo bilo na brzinu

Gotove su mape
Bacaj u vis kape
Negde tuga, negde klika
Žao mi je Krajišnika

Lyrics (English):

In November '95
I cried like a little kid
In Ohio on a white paper
The peace agreement was signed

The maps are ready
Throw your caps up in the air
Some people cry, some sing
I feel sorry for Sarajevo

Whole Banja Luka celebrated
The city of Belgrade and the villages
Everything was quiet in Pale
No one celebrated

The maps are ready
Throw your caps up in the air
Somewhere celebration, somewhere sorrow
Knin is not ours — that bothers me

Whole America is responsible
For finishing what it started
But still, Americans worry me
All of this was done in a hurry

The maps are ready
Throw your caps up in the air
Somewhere sorrow, somewhere cheering
I feel sorry for Krajišnik
