Pit, i to je Amerika
Azra · Other Songs - Azra
postoje Hollywood i Frankie boy
Disneyland, baseball i rock'n'roll
Vrijeme ocaja, vrijeme nade
jedni ruse a drugi grade
prolaze ratovi, padaju vlade
Pitove ruke vise nisu mlade
Ref. 2x
Od Aljaske do Meksika
to je ona druga slika
Pit, i to je Amerika
U buci, u larmi, u rudniku, na farmi
Pitove ruke vise nisu mlade
sezdeset godina za dolar rade
A negdje daleko u Ilinoji
nadgrobna ploca stoji
i prazan kovceg ceka
da Pit stigne iz daleka
Ref. 2x
A kada umoran zaspe
i vise se ne probudi
jedino za cime zudi
je da umjesto blazenstva i raja
vidi zoru kako rudi
i sunce starog kraja
Ref. 2x
About Pit, i to je Amerika
Azra's "Pit, i to je Amerika" stands as a defining track from the Croatian singer-songwriter's 2006 album *Other Songs*. Released during a pivotal era for Balkan indie music, the recording blends ethereal vocals with atmospheric production to explore themes of displacement and the complex identity of living between cultures. The song exemplifies Azra's signature style, characterized by poetic introspection and a hauntingly beautiful sound that transcends traditional genre boundaries. It resonates deeply within the region's contemporary musical landscape, reflecting a generation grappling with globalization and local heritage. As a cornerstone of her discography, the track remains a powerful testament to her ability to craft emotionally charged narratives that speak universally while remaining distinctly rooted in her personal experience.
