Hic gecmiyor gunler sensiz
Geceler yine kimsesiz
Ah sevdigim nerdesin? Kimdesin?
Sana sormaya, varmiyor dilim
Dinle

Deli askinin sonu var midir?
Diye sormadan severim seni
Aci dinmedin, gece bitmeden
Yola dusmeden bulurum seni
Bana yar midir? Adi var midir
Diye sormadan bilirim seni
Goze girmeden, dile gelmeden
Yuze gulmeden, severim seni

Sorsaydin adi var midir?
Gercekten bana yar midir?
Bilseydim sonu var midir?
Sessizce severim seni

Početkom osamdesetih Robert Funčić i Vesna Vrandečić osnovali su pop-rock grupu 'Xenia'. Prvi album "Kad nedjelja prođe" objavljen je 1983., a najpoznatije pjesme s albuma su Iznenadi me i otvorena lezbo-ljubavna pjesma Moja prijateljica. Svojim glasom i izvedbom pjevačica V. Vrandečić neodoljivo je podsjećala na 'Blondie,' a album im je priskrbio odličan ugovor s Jugotonom, prema kojem su morali izdati tri albuma u tri godine. Slijedio je mega-hit singl Troje, ali album "Tko je to učinio" (1984.) nije ni približno ponovio uspjeh svog prethodnika. Godinu dana kasnije grupa je prestala s radom, ali i sa samo dva albuma uspjeli su zauzeti visoko mjesto u jugoslavenskoj pop-rock antologiji.

zadnja provjera pred
ogledalom
treba znati prekidati
zadnji susret obukla sam
haljinu
koju najviše si volio
skidati

ali ja znam što će se dogoditi
ja znam suze otvoriti
ja sam našla lijek
mrziti ću te
zauvijek

zauvijek

Članak je nedavno objavljen u časopisu "European Geographer". Broj je bio posvećen nogometu i geografiji, s posebnim naglaskom na svjetsko nogometno prvenstvo u Njemačkoj 2006. Autor yours truly.



It was a sunny afternoon during the World Cup in Germany: the match between Argentina and Serbia and Montenegro was about to start. The players were standing on the field and soon the anthem Hej Slaveni spread across the stadium. To an uninformed observer nothing was unusual with this picture, but to some folks in the Balkans it was the non-sentimental last good bye to what ever was left of Yugoslavia.

Two decades before this Yugoslavian team was on the make. Having won the U-21 World Cup in 1987, it seemed that the future for the country’s football prodigy was going to be shiny. The team made of young stars such as Robert Prosinecki, Zvonimir Boban, Davor Suker and Predrag Mijatovic scored on average 2.44 goals per match, upsetting Brazil on their way to the finale against West Germany. Hej Slaveni sounded proudly at the award ceremony when Yugoslavian players lifted the trophy. They were indeed the future of the game. But events that followed transformed the situation into a ‘what might have been’ story when Yugoslavia violently started crumbling into pieces. And nowhere else but on a football stadium.

The famous never-played match between Red Star Belgrade and Dinamo Zagreb on May 13th 1990 amongst Croatian football fans is widely considered to be the date of the conflict kick off. After a violent rampage across Zagreb, Croatian supporters of Dinamo (called Bad Blue Boys) and Serbian supporters of Red Star (Delije) entered the Maksimir stadium. A few minutes later Delije, headed by their leader Željko Ražnatović Arkan, started tearing plastic seats and throwing them at the Dinamo supporters, alongside with bottles and stones. When they tore down the fence which was separating them from Dinamo supporters, the conflict spread to field with Serb-dominated police helping Delije in beating Dinamo supporters. The captain of Dinamo Zvonimir Boban came to help the Bad Blue Boys and attacked one of the police officers with a kung fu kick which made him an icon of the independence movement. The battle lasted for 70 minutes, police came back with reinforcements, many people were wounded, many arrested and the stadium burned. Zvonimir Boban was suspended from the national team for six months and missed the 1990 World Championship where Yugoslavia lost in the quarterfinals to – Argentina.

The battle from the Maksimir stadium soon continued in trenches, and the borders drawn on the maps divided the Yugoslav football team into six successors leaving many unanswered questions. What would become of the 1987 World champions, could they indeed fulfill their potentials or would the ethnicity and political situation within Yugoslavia influence the sport? All we know is that except for the 1998 World Cup third place won by Croatia, so far none of the ex-Yugoslav teams left a mark in football history. Serbia and Montenegro continued to (ab)use the name Yugoslavia for a few years alongside with the national anthem and football teams of both Zagreb and Belgrade were used in sharpening the nationalistic sentiments. Dinamo soon changed the name to more “appropriate” Croatia Zagreb under the strong patronage of Croatian president Franjo Tudjman and Red Star supporters become one of the strongest and most powerful pillars of Slobodan Milosevic regime.

Montenegro opted for the independence several weeks before the World Cup start, and the game against Argentina was the last to be played for an already nonexistent country. Hej Slaveni were sent to history with a final score of 0 – 6. And after all what was said and done during the nineties in the name of football, nationalism and land, it seems that nothing was more appropriate and more deserved than such a shameful and a pathetic good-bye.

Danas sam vodio mlade Taizeovce-Talijane u obilazak grada. Kako ne pričaju engleski, uskočio sam sa svojim davno stečenim znanjem jezika naših susjeda. Hrvatsku će napustiti sa sljedećim informacijama:

Nikola Tesla je izmislio kravatu.
Slavoljub Penkala izmislio je pernicu punjenu toplom vodom.
Kaptol je grad biskupa, a Gradec je grad konca.
U Zagrebu sniježi do lipnja.
Prosječna plaća u Hrvatskoj je 30 eura.
Hrvati su otkrili mnogo vozačkih dozvola.
Zagreb znači "bih".

Ponekad sam sebe zapanjim koliko pokušavam improvizirati, iako znam da mi ne ide.

Danke Deutschland, meine Seele brennt!
Danke Deutschland, für das liebe Geschenk.
Danke Deutschland, vielen Dank,
wir sind jetzt nicht allein,
und die Hoffnung kommt in das zerstörte Heim.

Sanja Trumbić je legenda. Pjevala je Moj je dragi u narodnoj gardi, Kazni me ko ženu, Daj mi mama 100 kuna i mnoge druge pjesme, ali najpoznatija je definitivno Danke Deutschland. Pjesma se vrtila jako kratko na Hrvatskoj televiziji 1991/92., a skinuta je iz etera na zamolbu njemačkog veleposlanstva i zbog negodovanja gledatelja.

Vrhunac ovog (nažalost kratkog) videa je kad složi facu na ...fuer das liebe Geschenk.

Questo libro, oltre che un’insonnia, e un viaggio. L’insonnia appartiene a chi ha scritto il libro, il viaggio a chi lo fece. Tuttavia, dato che anche a me e capitato di percorrere gli stessi luoghi che il protagonista di questa vicenda ha percorso, mi e parso opportuno fornire di essi un breve indice. Non so bene se a cio ha contribuito l’illusione che un repertorio topografico, con la forza che il reale possiede, potesse dare luce a questo Notturno in cui si cerca un’Ombra; oppure l’irragionevole congettura che un qualche amante di percorsi incongrui potesse un giorno utilizzarlo come guida.

Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,
Only a signal shown and distant voice in the darkness;
So the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and silence.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
