Riblja corba – Pogledaj dom svoj andjele

Tekst

Pogledaj dom svoj andjele

Pogledaj dom svoj, andjele,
i skini paucinu s ociju,
videces prizore potresne,
videces nesrecne i bolesne,
videces cemer, smrt i jad.
Pogledaj stado, andjele,
sve sami bogalji i prosjaci,
slepi tumaraju u gomili,
svima su kicmu polomili,
od tebe ocekuju spas.

Pogledaj bagru, andjele,
njihova dusa je prokleta,
svima su stavili amove,*
sebi sagradili hramove,
ruke im ogrezle u krv.
Podigni mac svoj, andjele,
seti se krstaskih ratova,
seti se preklanih vratova,
kad dodjes bogu na istinu,
nek ti u dusi vlada mir.
Uslisi molitve, andjele,
dabogda pocrkali dusmani
pa budi andjeo osvete,
neka na svojoj kozi osete,
sta znaci beda, strah i bol.

English Translation

Look At Your Home, Angel

Look at your home, angel,
and remove the spider web from your eyes
you will see soul-stirring sights
you will see the unfortunate and sick
you will see distress, death and misery
Look at your flock, angel,
only crippled and beggars
blind men wandering in a crowd
everybody’s spines broken
from you they expect salvation

Look at the rabble, angel,
their soul’s been cursed
they put reins on everyone
built shrines for themselves
their hands are bloody
Raise your sword, angel
remember the crusades
remember the jugulated
when you stand in front of God
may peace reign in your soul
Answer the prayers, angel
may the fiends drop dead, so help me God,
so be an angel of revenge
let them feel on their own skin
what poverty, fear and pain mean
