RKTRD NDRD’s Mravljooka Pupica Croatian Lyrics English Meaning

The songwriter mentions a robotic shadow and black bamboo growing in his chest to describe the pain of loss. A key line, ‘Thorns bloom in my chest, and black bamboo grows wild,’ captures the physical ache of heartbreak. The poet uses metaphors like ‘ant-eyed’ and ‘all dressed up’ to paint a vivid picture of Pupica, a figure both beautiful and untouchable.

Ne spuštaj se na razinu mojih noguDon’t lower yourself to the level of my feet.
Iz srca ne puštaj srne da mi glođu umDon’t let the deer from your heart gnaw at my mind.
Ja nemam razloga za radostI’ve no reason for joy,
Nemam razloga za divlji plesand I’ve no reason for a wild dance.
Otišla je mravljooka zenaThe ‘ant-eyed’ woman has gone,
Nakindžurena Pupicait’s the ‘all dressed up’ Pupica.
Lijepa i plaha kao robotska sjenaShe was beautiful and timid like a robotic shadow.
Na svijetu nigdje nema za mene više šećera nemaThere’s no more sweetness for me left in the world.
U grudima buja trnje, divlja bambus crnThorns bloom in my chest, and black bamboo grows wild.
Imala je stas, opojan glas, oči boje sljeza i crven nos od sladoledaShe had the grace, an intoxicating voice, mallow-colored eyes, and a red nose from ice cream.
Ja nemam način da se smirim, nemam način da ti ljubav damI’ve no way to calm down, and I’ve no way to give you love.
Otišla je mravljooka žena, nakindžurena PupicaThe ‘ant-eyed’ woman has gone, it’s the ‘all dressed up’ Pupica.
Lijepa i plaha kao robotska sjenaShe was beautiful and timid like a robotic shadow.
Na svijetu nigdje nema za mene vise šećera nemaThere’s no more sweetness for me left in the world.
Mravljooka PupicaMy ‘ant-eyed’ Pupica,
za radost razlog nemamI’ve no reason for joy.
Lijepa i plaha kao robotska sjenaShe was beautiful and timid like a robotic shadow.
Na svijetu nigdje nema za mene više šećera nemaThere’s no more sweetness for me left in the world.
