SEJMENI
kako opasno popodne
miris nafte
miris znoja
iz daljine zvuk motora
iz daljine zvuk
iza prozora su puške
iza pušaka su oči
iza očiju su ruke
iza ruku kuca srce
baby
ne boj se
ja ću biti tu kraj tebe
baby
ne boj se
ja ću biti tu kraj tebe
kad bude vrijeme za to
ispred kuća naši ljudi
stoje spremni da se bore
hladne cijevi samo čekaju znak
crni momci ispred grada
su upalili motore
oni ostavljaju plameni trag
u nama vrijeme se mijenja
i svi su opet
spremni da se bore za san
u nama vrijeme se mijenja
sa barikada
reći ćemo no pasaran
sad je vrijeme za to
sejmeni dolaze
lance nam donose
ljudi ih gledaju
proći im ne daju

SEYMEN were the military police of the Janiyzry Turkish army ; their duty was to take the sons of Turkish subjects as a tribute : These children later became Janizaries
SEYMEN
What a dangerous afternoon
The smell of oil
The smell of sweat
The sound of engines from far away
The sound from far away
Guns behind the windows
Eyes behind the guns
Hands behind the eyes
behind the hands heart beats
Baby
Have no fear
I’ll be close to you
When the time comes
Our men are down in the street
Ready to fight
Cold barrels only waiting for a sign
Black guys outside the city
Started their motorbikes
Leaving a tail of flames
Inside us the time is changing
Everybody is ready again
To fight for a dream
Inside us the time is changing
Well say from the barricades
No pasaran
The time has now come
THE SEYMEN ARE COMING
THERY’RE BRINGING US CHAINS
THE PEOPLE ARE STARING
AND WON’T LET THEM PASS
baby
