Sveti bes [English translation]
Sveti bes [English translation]
Her spirit is free
with other children
she wants to reach the sun
with hands covered in mud
and hug him like brother
It whispers to her secrets
about the land behind the mirror
if you believe in fairy tale
it wasn't told for nothing
your trail is long
On the other side
there is more than pot
your eyes are wings
they carry you everywhere
touch your chest
That isn't your heart ticking, no
those are shy dreams ticking
from outside
they want you to let them in
your fingers are brushes
Paint the people that are scared
to breath in pollen and
be born again
trough temperament
and black calcimine
Then they will have watery view
forgive them, you will paint
your smile again
Thousands fireflies in
this night are your lanterns
it's so easy to fly when you are child
let dreams fly
trough sleepy streets
Rainy music tonight chooses
you to be her
with dewy notes in hair
dress costume from tulle
and already you are blue fairy
Looking at dummy you bring him alive
next second your teddy tells
I waited for you, I'm leading you
in place that knows no groans
Jump over the roofs
there you are on tail of the star
his tearing the sky with his paw
"Where are you taking me teddy?
I don't see you silly..."
Lashes full of clouds
stop, I see embers
or are those faces of people
hundreds, hundreds of people
fly towards us
Leading the procession
those are mom and dad
light as a wind
cocktail of laughter and cry
she walks toward them
Shinny like never before
and now she forgives them for leaving
here is so much nicer
everything is made from happiness and songs
but immediately, everything is shaking
From mountains, emerges
ugly head of the giant
everyone around her
becomes smoke and disappear
she becomes alone
And then she recognizes
face of ugly giant as her uncle's
and picture shatters
Pieces of shattered imagination
pierce her eyes
and finally she sees
the same thing
that she sees every night
giant body above her
Breath stinking of rakia*
raspy tongue from which
she is creeping out and
everywhere is sticky sweat and pain
that thing, the sword that cuts
everything chaste in her
Stinky fingers in her mouth
shivering thighs
she screams in herself
her hand reaches for teddy
but will he hear her now?
From tears she doesn't see him clearly
but it greatly hurts her
"Take me Teddy
my little Teddy, take me away
please!"
But silent dummy is blankly
watching her with glassy eyes
heart is lost under the plush
sank into nothing
Walls are hearing only
uncle's sigh and rain
and night is deaf
and everything from outside is silent
ref.
Holy rage, my everything
my pain, my whole world
holy rage and what is sin
after or before
it returns back
He is 50 years old
while the storm rages outside
he sits in armchair
reading book, now
in the song is crow
In song there is a single**
wing stroke and night
ominous bird that
is only guest to a single
Night like this, single like him
but crow, crow is only
in that song
only craziness, that
really can't be, nah...
Fireplace is crackling pleasantly
he continue drinking wine
in that hour, someone knocks
man shivers
fog brought him someone
Like crow from the song
though he doesn't want company
he opens the door
and he sees a young man
woven from the dark
Black topcoat, long hair
dark eyes and rage
those eyes that stick
right in his consciousness
he wanted something to say
But he stayed speechless
lighting flashed at the same
time as youngster's fist
another and another
man hit the floor
as chill and darkness entered
with youngster in the room
man felt leg on top of him
and look above
and then he helplessly shouted
"You bloody son of the whore!"
and that was a spark
arrow in youngster's heart
who knows why, he screamed
and started to beat the man
Bloody, daemonic
without the mercy, everywhere
the man spit the blood
screams are lost beneath the boot
in that moment when
he leaned the gun to his temple
The man figured that the youngster
has no limit and that it is the end
as he coughed his teeth out
he tries to ask why
but the youngster spoke
and it was clear
How do you like to be
on this side of fear
you, who sowed fear
how is it now
are you remembering now
All the sequences when you torture her
and later when you were sick of her
and you didn't want her in the house
picture of her alone in the street
as broken sky was crying
You , you scum don't know
what happened after
I'm not son of the whore
I am son of hundreds of scums
same as you are
They were her only hope
to support herself
and then her son too
for petty money
woman warmth together
with glass of cheap wine
In the end AIDS was her end
but there is greater pain
to be born with AIDS
Come on picture that
I was born with AIDS
But I'll die with smile
this is your end
you end with my vengeance
dull click, hush
then one howl in the dark
Gun was empty
and youngster
in the dark is smiling:
"Now you are only shadow wretch,
nothing before the fear"
"I will not be your executioner
but your life will be,
you will call it punishment"
And then in the light
came needle from syringe
Youngster, pulled it out
from his pocket,
and put it in his vein
and without hurry he extracted juice of hate
drops of holy rage
that always flew in him
He smiled ghastly
lighting stroke outside
he stabbed needle in man's neck
and infused his blood
and was checkmate
Youngster walked into the dark
and only sighs of uncle remained
and the night is deaf
and everything from outside is silent
