about
Kraj reke ( Jedno telo) By the River ( One body)
Hāfez(1325 –1389) Persian Mystical Poet wrote:" I have come into this world to see this: the sword drop from men’s hands even at the height of their arc of rage because we have finally realized there is just one flesh we can wound."
In this song, Martris sings about embracing, forgiving another that is
beeing referred to as "the enemy" . A woman near the river is shedding her tears; Giving a confession to the river; Her grief, her sadness and a prayer for forgiveness in a realization that the other, she calls her enemy is just a reflection of her self; A song as an intimate realization that she an another are the same and connected, as one body.
lyrics
Kraj reke ( Jedno telo)
Ja sam tvoj glas i tvoje telo
Tvoj san nepozeljan, nepriznat, tih
Ja sam tvoja suza neplakana, nema
U nama kuca srce izniklo iz istog tela
Ti si blaga ceznja iza nemih usni,
Stegnute u strahu predaka – moj bol
Glas u meni tiho što doziva traži,
Dok čekamu tami da zanemi zov
Kraj reke suze lila,
Kraj reke moma mila,
Reko tiho ovaj šapat nosi,
Nečujno, neznano zauvek je predano
Tvoje noge trče ii kada stojis,
Moje oči gledaju kroz tebe
Ove ruke bi ljubav jer mržnja samo boli
I samo oproštaji leče naše rane neceljene
Ti si senka koju plašimse da vidim
Glas što tiho kuca zaboravljeni spas,
Reči koje bole jer plašim se i stidim,
Ova pesma koju plačem je i tvoga grla glas
Kraj reke suze lila,
Kraj reke moma mila,
Reko tiho ovaj šapat nosi,
Nečujno , neznano zauvek je predano

By the River (One Body)
I am your voice and your body
Your fear unwanted, unacknowledged, quiet
I am your teardrop, left uncried, numbed
Our beating hearts have sprouted out of the same body.
You are the wound behind these numbed lips
Grippeded by the fears of my fathers, my pain
The silenced voice within, calling me and begging
While I'm waiting in the dusk for the pain to disappear
By the river, shedding her tears
By the river, dear girl
Oh river, softly take these whispers of pain
The hushed, the unknown, offered up eternally
Your feet are running, even when you are standing
My eyes are looking through yours,
These arms want to love, because hatred only hurts
And only forgiveness can heal the forsaken wounds
You are my shadow, which I dread to see
That silent voice ticking, my forgotten salvation
You are the words that hurt, due to my fear and shame
This lament also arises from your throat
By the river, shedding her tears she was weeping
By the river, dear girl
Oh river, softly take these whispers of pain
The hushed, the unknown, offered up eternally
