You already know this section: where I share a Croatian song, the lyrics, and useful vocabulary.
Learning through music is not only fun and engaging, but it also helps improve your listening skills, pronunciation, and cultural understanding.
Croatian music is rich and full of emotion, and it’s a great way to hear the language as it’s really spoken.
Let’s enjoy the rhythm, discover new words, and learn Croatian in a natural, musical way!
Text with lyrics of the song in Croatian and English
Moli za nas
Progoni me zvijer
Ti zoveš je strah, ja zovem je san
Pred vratima sam
Borim se da uhvatim zrak
Jer jednom kad uđem u sve sto je tuđe
I krene da vuče nepoznat glas
Ove će ruke i nijedne druge
Pokazati zube, moj jedini spas
Moli za nas
Moli za nas
Ovdje je samo led
A srce bi žar
Moli za nas
Moli za nas
Tu je samo grijeh
A duša bi raj
Moli za nas
Moli za nas
U utrobi rez
I prigušen glas što ne ide van
Suze il' krv, kad proliješ mlad
Ista je stvar
Jer jednom kad uđem u svе sto je tuđe
I krenе da vuče nepoznat glas
Ove će ruke i nijedne druge
Pokazati zube, moj jedini spas
Moli za nas
Moli za nas
Moli za nas
Moli za nas
Moli za nas
Moli za nas
Tu je samo grijeh
A duša bi raj
Pray for us
A beast is chasing me
You call it fear, I call it sleep
I'm at the door
I'm struggling to catch my breath
Because once I enter everything that is foreign
And an unknown voice starts to drag
These hands and no others will
Show their teeth, my only salvation
Pray for us
Pray for us
Here is only ice
And the heart would be hot
Pray for us
Pray for us
There is only sin
And the soul would be heaven
Pray for us
Pray for us
A cut in the womb
And a muffled voice that doesn't come out
Tears or blood, when you shed your youth
It's the same thing
Because once I enter everything that is foreign
And an unknown voice starts to drag
These hands and no others will
Show their teeth, my only salvation
Pray for us
Pray for us
Pray for us
Pray for us
Pray for us
Pray for us
Pray for us
There is only sin
And the soul would be heaven
