Ljubi se istok i zapad - Yugoslav partisan anthem

Plavi Orkestar · Simpatija · Song · 1991

set to the tune of California Dreamin'

Yugoslav song symbolizeding Josip Broz Tito’s dream of Yugoslavia as a bridge between East and West, following his 1948 split from Stalin.

Lyrics (bosnian):

Još pamtim onaj dan Kad si otišla U ljeto osamdesete Kiša je padala

Sedam godina Sam te čekao Svaki mi je telefon Nadu budio

Neka ljubi se (neka ljubi se) Istok i zapad (istok i zapad) Neka ljubi se (neka ljubi se) Sjever i jug (sjever i jug) Skini prašinu (skini prašinu) Sa starog kofera (sa starog kofera) I krenimo na put (krenimo na put) Hajde, budi mi drug (hajde, budi mi drug)

Sve je uzalud Rušio se most Drugovi su žalili Moju strpljivost

O, Bože, predugo je mrak Daj mi svjetlosti I neka počne na tvoj znak Doba nježnosti

Neka ljubi se (neka ljubi se) Istok i zapad (istok i zapad) Neka ljubi se (neka ljubi se) Sjever i jug (sjever i jug) Skini prašinu (skini prašinu) Sa starog kofera (sa starog kofera) I krenimo na put (krenimo na put) Hajde, budi mi drug (hajde, budi mi drug)

Neka ljubi se (neka ljubi se) Istok i zapad (neka ljubi se) Sjever i jug (neka ljubi se) Istok i zapad (neka ljubi se) Sjever i jug (neka ljubi se) Istok i zapad (neka ljubi se) Sjever i jug (neka ljubi se) Istok i zapad (neka ljubi se) Sjever i jug, istok i zapad (u!) Sjever i jug, istok i zapad Sjever i jug, istok i zapad Sjever i jug (u!) istok i zapad Sjever i jug (u!) istok i zapad Sjever i jug...

Lyrics (english):

I still remember that day When you left In the summer of the eighties It was raining

For seven years I waited for you alone Every phone call Woke my hope

Let there be kisses (let there be kisses) East and west (east and west) Let there be kisses (let there be kisses) North and south (north and south) Take the dust off (take the dust off) From the old suitcase (from the old suitcase) And let us set off (set off) Come on, be my friend (come on, be my friend)

It's all in vain The bridge collapsed My friends complained About my patience

Oh, God, it's been dark for too long Give me light And let the era of tenderness begin at your sign

Let there be kisses (let there be kisses) East and west (east and west) Let there be kisses (let there be kisses) North and south (north and south) Take the dust off (take the dust off) From the old suitcase (from an old suitcase) And let's go on a journey (let's go on a journey) Come on, be my friend (come on, be my friend)

Let's kiss (let's kiss) East and west (east and west) Let's kiss (let's kiss) North and south (north and south) Dust off (dust off) From an old suitcase (from an old suitcase) And let's go on a journey (let's go on a journey) Come on, be my friend (come on, be my friend)

Let's kiss (let's kiss) East and west (let's kiss) North and south (let's kiss) East and west (let's kiss) North and south (let's kiss) East and west (let's kiss) East and west (let's kiss) East and south, east and west (oh!) North and south, east and west North and south, east and west North and south, east and west North and south, east and west North and south…

fischia il vento (the wind whistles) - partisan anthem

song lyrics were written in 1943 during the Nazi occupation of northern Italy by Felice Cascione, a medical student. Cascione, an Italian resistance member, wrote the lyrics while hiding in the Ligurian mountains. the tune of Fischia il vento is actually taken from the soviet song Katyusha (Катюша), which was already popular with European leftist movements.

Casione was sadly killed in combat in 1944 fighting for a liberated Italy. Rest in power!

Lyrics (Italian):

Fischia il vento e infuria la bufera Scarpe rotte eppur bisogna andar A conquistare la rossa primavera Dove sorge il sol dell'avvenir A conquistare la rossa primavera Dove sorge il sol dell'avvenir

Ogni contrada è patria del ribelle Ogni donna a lui dona un sospir Nella notte lo guidano le stelle Forte è il cuor e il braccio nel colpir Nella notte lo guidano le stelle Forte è il cuor e il braccio nel colpir

Se ci coglie la crudele morte Dura vendetta sarà del partigian Ormai sicura è la dura sorte Del fascista vile e traditor Ormai sicura è la dura sorte Del fascista vile e traditor

Cessa il vento e calma la bufera Torna a casa il fiero partigian Sventolando la rossa sua bandiera Vittoriosi e alfin liberi siam Sventolando la rossa sua bandiera Vittoriosi e alfin liberi siam

Fischia il vento e infuria la bufera Scarpe rotte e pur bisogna andar A conquistare la rossa primavera Dove sorge il sol dell'avvenir A conquistare la rossa primavera Dove sorge il sol dell'avvenir Lyrics (English):

The wind whistles, the storm rages, our shoes are broken but we must march on, to conquer the red spring, where the sun of the future rises. to conquer the red spring, where the sun of the future rises.

Every street is fatherland to the rebel, every woman has a sigh for him, the stars guide him through the night, strong his heart and his arm when they strike. the stars guide him through the night, strong his heart and his arm when they strike.

If cruel death catches us harsh revenge will come from the partisan already certain is the harsh fate of the vile treasonous fascist. already certain is the harsh fate of the vile treasonous fascist.

The wind stops and the storm calms, the proud partisan returns home, blowing in the wind his red flag, victorious, at last free we are. blowing in the wind his red flag, victorious, at last free we are.
