Tišina
Bajaga I Instruktori · Prodavnica tajni
Da l' si ikad pitala tamne senke zidova ujutro gde odu?
Oči su ti sklopljene, usne su ti umorne, ne ljubi me njima
Nisu čvorci pevali dok je iznad krovova svirala tišina
Hajde, Bože, budi drug, pa okreni jedan krug unazad planetu
Noć je kratko trajala, a nama je trebala najduža na svetu
U mom oku samo hlad, u mom srcu samo stud, inje i prašina
Nisu čvorci pevali dok je iznad krovova svirala tišina
U cik zore zviždi voz, njime odlazim u Oz, neću da se vratim
Što god tebi napišem, pocepam i obrišem, al' ti moraš znati
Nisi se probudila, zato nisi videla, igrale su sene
Nek te dobri duhovi i kraljevski orlovi čuvaju od mene
Hajde, Bože, budi drug, pa okreni jedan krug unazad planetu
Noć je kratko trajala, a nama je trebala najduža na svetu
U mom oku samo hlad, u mom srcu samo stud, inje i prašina
Nisu čvorci pevali dok je iznad krovova svirala tišina
Tišina
"Ti?ina" is a song about the silence that fills a room. The track, by Serbian band Bajaga i Instruktori, opens with a vivid image: "Mrak se skupio u kap, rano jutro kao slap ulazi u sobu" ? "Darkness gathered into a drop, early morning like a waterfall enters the room." It is a song about the weight of quiet.
The lyrics are full of the kind of poetic imagery that makes the best Serbian rock songs work. The narrator talks about the starlings not singing while silence played above the roofs. It is a song about the ache of a moment, and it is delivered with a vocal performance that is both tender and powerful.
The translation on Lyrics Translate captures the song's melancholy: "In my eye only shade, in my heart only cold, frost and dust." It is a song about the emptiness that follows loss.
What stays with me is how the song turns silence into a character. It is a song about the weight of quiet, and it is delivered with a sincerity that is hard to ignore.
