Dišali So Tvoji Lasje
"Dišali So Tvoji Lasje" is a song about the sweetness of memory, about the way that a scent, a song, and a moment can stay with you forever. The track, by Slovenian band Fehtarji, is a waltz that appears on their album "Podeželski Rock'n'Roll." The title translates to "Your Hair Smelled," and the song is built around the memory of a close embrace. The song opens with a gentle promise. "Vedno bo v srcu pelo, vedno bo tako / Ker je pesem svetu dana, da nam je lepo / ćasov, ki so će za nami, nikdar ve ne bo / A prav zato s to pesmijo grem k tebi lahko." "It will always sing in my heart, it will always be so / Because the song is given to the world to make us happy / The times that are behind us will never come again / But that's why with this song I can come to you." It is a song about the way that music can bring back the past. The chorus is built around the central image. "Dišali so tvoji lasje / Ko stisnila k meni si se / Pa mi ni ćal / Da sem takrat s tabo bećal." "Your hair smelled / When you pressed against me / And I don't regret / That I ran away with you then." It is a song about the joy of a moment that was worth everything. The second verse is full of the kind of warmth that makes the song so affecting. "Blaći, zdaj će bolj raztegni to harmoniko / Da zaslići se ta valcer će bolj pravljino / In ćeprav je res, da bom to noć bolj malo spal / Sem res vesel, ker vonj njenih las mi je ostal." "Bla, now stretch that accordion even more / So this waltz sounds even more magical / And even though it's true I'll sleep a little less tonight / I'm really glad the scent of her hair stayed with me." It is a song about the way that a memory can be a treasure. For a reviewer, "Dišali So Tvoji Lasje" is a beautiful example of Fehtarji's ability to create music that is both traditional and heartfelt. It is a song about memory, about the way that a scent and a song can keep a moment alive, and it is delivered with a warmth that is hard to resist. It is a track that rewards a quiet listen, and it is a worthy addition to their catalogue. |
