Anđeli Žive Doveka

Cry with us now, my city
Let the Danube and Sava slow their flow
Let the winner wear a black ribbon on his lapel
Let the Košava blow to ease the pain

Let the Avala Tower burn like a candle
Let all the bells ring without exception
Every square of yours should be our chapel
On every corner, let them hold a requiem

Let the mayor tremble, let the fortress weep
And the leader embrace the saint before the temple
From now until forever, let everyone remember
That it’s eternally cherished, that they were children

Little angels, beautiful, innocent
Not guilty to anyone, carefree, restless
Loved, cherished, pampered, unique
Joyful, overjoyed, unknown to misfortune

We didn’t save them, we sinful ones
We didn’t even suspect that evil would come
Nothing in the world can replace them
Without them, everything is empty like their beds

Stay, goodbye my city
Take good care of my friends
Hug my mom while she cries
Heal my dad’s wounds

I’m going to heaven now
The angels are waiting for me
Stay, goodbye my city
Take care of yourself

One ordinary morning
One ordinary day
The holidays are over
The bell rings for the first class
Kids run to school
Sending kisses out loud
We’ll see each other soon
Who could have known

Between good and evil
Between heaven and hell
Such a thin line
From meaning to nonsense
Everything we knew
In a moment turned to dust
Where happiness once was
Now there’s only fear

The whole world is now a memory
Reality is a dream
The past is where
I truly belong
There’s not a moment I’m alone
Without play and smiles
Life is their song
A dance to infinity

One ordinary morning
One ordinary day
They tried to stand
Between us
As if they don’t know that for love
There are no barriers
As if they don’t know that angels
Live forever
