Majko raširenih krila
Mother with spread wings
Moja majko raširenih krila
My mother with spread wings
gdje ti je onaj osmjeh
where is that smile of yours
gdje su tvoji ptići
where are your little birds
što su bili uz tebe.
who were by your side.
Tvoje srce se steglo
Your heart has tightened
tvoje srce plače
your heart is crying
krila su ti ranjena
your wings are wounded
nisu više za let.
they are no longer for flight.
Tvoje ptiće su raznijeli
Your little birds were scattered
vjetrovi i oluje po svjetu.
by winds and storms across the world.
Sami lete, nemirni su ne znaju
They fly alone, restless, they don't know
kuda će.
where they are going.
Tebe zovu da po njih
They call for you to come
dođeš
for them.
Ne mogu te dozvati
They cannot reach you
jer su u tuđini.
because they are in a foreign land.
A ti sama i slomljena
And you, alone and broken
čekaš danima i godinama
wait for days and years
da se tvoji ptići
for your little birds
opet vrate iz daleka.
to return again from afar.
Lines explained
“Majko raširenih krila”
Mother with spread wings
The 'spread wings' metaphor refers to a mother's protective embrace and her ability to nurture and care for her children, like a bird sheltering its young.
“gdje su tvoji ptići”
where are your little birds
The 'little birds' (ptići) are a common poetic metaphor for children, emphasizing their vulnerability and dependence on the mother bird.
“jer su u tuđini.”
because they are in a foreign land.
The phrase 'u tuđini' (in a foreign land) highlights the theme of emigration and the distance that separates families, a common experience in many cultures.
