Nebo je naše, sloboda za sve! [Verse 1] My hands are quick and my feet are light But the jobs ran dry and the rent won't wait Saw a poster in the square — Circus Magnolia needs a hand Packed my bag, caught the train, no turning back now [Verse 2] First day in the ring, the trapeze hanging high The boss gives a nod — I've got the job! Glitter and fanfare, the crowd is calling out I throw myself into the air — this is what I live for [Chorus] Hajde, ajmo, sloboda za sve! Under the big top everything looks like magic But behind the curtain, behind the smiling faces Not everything is what it seems [Verse 3] I saw it — the animals in their cages The lion, raw and wounded, the elephant trembling They cheer for me every night in the ring But no one cheers for them — when the spotlight fades [Pre-Chorus] I lay down to sleep but I couldn't find rest Something has to be done — but what and how? It naws at my stomach, it burns in my chest An acrobat does the only thing they know [Chorus] Hajde, ajmo, sloboda za sve! Under the big top everything looks like magic But behind the curtain, behind the smiling faces Not everything is what it seems [Bridge] [Slower, darker — brass drops to a single clarinet] Midnight, the keys in my hand The cage swings open, the lion understands The elephant walks out into the night The boss is screaming — but it's already too late Hajde, ajmo, sloboda za sve! I ran, I stumbled, I fell Heard the crack before I felt the pain The arm — broken The cage — empty [Final Chorus] Hajde, ajmo, sloboda za sve! Under the big top I paid the price But behind the curtain, behind the broken bones There are heroes that nobody sees [Outro] [Brass fades, single accordion holds] Nebo je naše, sloboda za sve... The circus packs up and moves on But the lion is free And I smile — cast and all ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Balkan-driven circus story told in first person — an unemployed acrobat who lands a job at Circus Magnolia, only to discover the dark treatment of animals behind the glitter and fanfare. Opens with a Bosnian chant ("Nebo je naše, sloboda za sve!" — The sky is ours, freedom for all!) that returns as a driving refrain throughout the song. What starts as a lighthearted tale of finding work and flying through the air escalates into a midnight rescue mission. The acrobat uses their skills one final time — not for applause, but for something that matters — and pays the price with a broken arm. Bittersweet, chaotic, and deeply human. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © 2026 Ande Records Lyrics by Ande All rights reserved. https://ande-records.se/
