Iznenada kobne noći te četrdesetdruge godine
Činilo se kao da će sneg
A stigao je rat i vojnik neki tuđ i strah
Mene majka moja rodi da sanjam o slobodi
U prvoj noći da čujem zveket
Da plačem sa rukom na usnama
Moja generacija iz četrdesetdruge
Dobro je pregurala burne dane te
Moja generacija iz četrdesetdruge
To je vreme spavala i čeznula za mlekom
Sad je vreme sasvim drugo i put svoj svako ima
Što god smo dalje sve više hoću
Da znam gde živi, gde pije, peva, gde je sad?
Moja generacija iz četrdesetdruge
Sva se već poženila i čuva slatku decu
Moja generacija iz četrdesetdruge
Sva se uozbiljila, jer tako mora biti
Suddenly that deadly night of year forty-two
Seemed like it was going to snow
But war arrived and a foreign soldier and fear
My mother gave me life to dream of freedom
The first night to hear gun sounds
To cry with my hand on my lips
My generation from year forty-two
Nicely managed those intense days
My generations from year forty-two
Slept and longed for milk at that time
Times are different now and everyone has his own path
The further we are, the more I want
To know where they live, drink, sing, are now
My generation from year forty-two
Is married now and has kids
My generation from year forty-two
Got all serious, because it has to be like that
