Lyrics

Lyrics: Jedan dječak mali u vihoru rata Koga sretne pita "gdje li je moj tata?" Tate dugo nema, Majka ne znam gdje je Neki crni ljudi odneli mi sve Zaboravit ne smem, oprostiti neću Neki crni ljudi odneli mi sreću Zaboravit ne smem, oprostiti neću Neki crni ljudi odneli mi sreću Gdje su moje male igračke za stola? Gdje su prva slova i moj drugar Novak? Gdje je mali Žuća, moja rodna kuća? Da li znade neko gdje li je moj zeko? Zaboravit ne smem, oprostiti neću Neki crni ljudi odneli mi sreću Zaboravit ne smem, oprostiti neću Neki crni ljudi odneli mi sreću Kad je otac čuo za svog malog sina Krenuo je Posavinom ratov'o do Knina Pa poruku šalje svome malom sinu Osvetiću tvoju majku, zeku, i Krajinu Osvetiću, sine, tvoja prva slova Malu Žuću, našu kuću, i tvog druga Novak Zaboravit ne smemo, oprostiti nećemo Ove žive rane opominju same Zaboravit ne smemo, oprostiti nećemo Ove žive rane opominju same

Lyrics (English): One little boy in the whirlwind of war Whoever he meets he asks "Where is my father?" Father has been gone for a long time, I don't know where mother is Some people in black took everything away from me I must not forget, I will not forgive Some people in black took away my happiness I must not forget, I will not forgive Some people in black took away my happiness Where are my little toys by the table? Where are my first letters and my friend Novak? Where is small Žuća, my home where I was born in? Does anyone know where my bunny is? I must not forget, I will not forgive Some people in black took away my happiness I must not forget, I will not forgive Some people in black took away my happiness When the father heard what happened to his little son He went to Posavina and fought the war all the way to Knin So he sent a letter to his small son I will avenge your mother, bunny, and Krajina Son, I will avenge your first letters Small Žuća, our house and your friend Novak We must not forget, we will not forgive These open wounds are a warning by themselves We must not forget, we will not forgive These open wounds are a warning by themselves
