Riprendiamo il testo di questa "preghiera per la pace" dalla pagina delle canzoni contro la guerra della ex Jugoslavia
It's a beginning of a new
And excitingly different story.
DOSTA JE RATA,
ZA MIR JA DIZEM SVOJ GLAS,
Svijetu da cuje molitvu svih nas.
Ovo je ljudska rijec
Za generacije da pate,
Molitva za Mir
Dok ratne vatre plamte.
Gledam, stvarno, zar je to nasa mladost?
Mrznja i smrt zamijenjuju ljubav i radost.
Suze i strah svuda oko mene,
Sa ognjista bijeze starci, dijeca, zene,
Tu istinu primam sa bolom u dusi,
Jer tko ima pravo da sije teror i rusi?
Mir!
Za sve narode i Kroaciju,
Ja borim se perom za demokraciju.
Evropo pomozi, ne budite suci,
Zar je nasa buducnost sa puskom u ruci?
Dosta je rata,
Za Mir ja dizem svoj glas,
Svijetu da cuje molitvu svih nas.
Zar golubu Mira slomljeno je krilo?
Tko je tamo gdje je Mira nekada bilo?
Zrtve, rusevine, bombe i strah,
Slike sa kojima zivim, od kojih staje dah.
Dosta je rata,
Dizem svoj glas
Svijetu da cuje molitvu svih nas,
Jer mnogo zrtava palo je vec,
Dok avioni siju bombe
Svijetu upucujem rijec:
Devedeset prva, sto ce sutra dati?
Pa nek svijecu zapale i Mir da se vrati!
Zaustavite ovaj krvavi pir,
Nasa poruka je jasna--molitva za Mir.
Dosta je rata,
Za Mir ja dizem svoj glas,
Svijetu da cuje molitvu svih nas.
And excitingly different story.

PRAYER FOR PEACE
It's a beginning of a
New and excitingly different story.
Nineteen ninety one,
War!
This is the prayer for Peace!
We fight for freedom
In hope that fighting will cease
And let the world hear
My prayers for Peace.
Sad is, but true,
That people are dying.
Mothers and children
Just can't stop crying,
Praying for freedom and Peace,
(line omitted)
Will the fire cease?
War...
Rhyme and pen is my weapon
For democracy to make it happen.
But wicked fear rules, adheres,
The scenes of terror will always appear
In our minds...
What we need is unity,
Peace,
So we can live in community,
Hear me,
Stop the war in Croatia,
Peace for you and me,
And all the nations.
We fight for freedom
In hope that fighting will cease
And let the world hear
My prayers for Peace.
Europe, you should act more fast,
Bring the Peace, stop bringing disaster,
Help now, 'cause tomorrow's too late
We wanna live fate without the rape...
Stop the war, we pray,
Make dialogue be the only way.
To restore the Peace
We must try that again
(line omitted).
Freedom,
Is the word that we're praying for,
Again and again and again
NO MORE WAR!
Our witness
(line omitted)
Just let us be,
We don't wanna die.
We fight for freedom
In hope that fighting will cease
And let the world hear
My prayers for Peace.
