Prije nego odem u raj
Azra · Other Songs - Azra
moj je mir sasvim prvotna stvar
nesto poput placanja racuna
prije nego odem u raj
Ja sam tu da ne dozvolim da spavas
za jedne samo mozdana tvar
drugi misle da me goli kurac vodi
to je sve sto treba da znas
Ref.
Since I've been loving you
my sweet Lady B.
koliko treba da protekne sna
da te zaboravim
Neka nebo zna
your grace Lady B.
zatreba li kazi napustit cu grad
daleko od ljudi
Ja sam tu da pritiskam do kraja
odmah potom ostajem sam
to je sve sto imam da ti kazem
prije nego odem u raj
Ref.
Daj mi ruku i poljubi me jednom
moj je mir sasvim prvotna stvar
nesto poput placanja racuna
prije nego odem u raj, nego odem u raj
nego odem u raj
Prije nego odem u raj
Azra's "Prije nego odem u raj" stands as a defining anthem of the Yugoslav indie rock revival, capturing the melancholic introspection characteristic of the band's discography. Released on the album *Other Songs*, the track exemplifies Azra's signature blend of acoustic guitar, ethereal vocals, and poetic lyricism that resonated deeply within the region during the late 1990s and early 2000s. The song reflects a broader cultural moment where artists sought to articulate personal emotion and social observation through a distinctively Balkan sound. As part of the group's extensive catalog, it remains a staple for fans appreciating the genre's evolution and the band's enduring influence on contemporary indie music in the area.
