Il sole è rosso; la luna è incrinata, il papà non è tornato a casa, nulla sarà mai tuo per sempre. Chiudi gli occhi e vai a dormire, se muoio prima che tu ti risvegli, non piangere, non piangere. nulla è come sembra. Sali la scala dei tuoi sogni, se muoi prima che tu ti svegli non piangere, non piangere. Nulla è nelle tue mani, tieni chiusi gli occhi; dormi...
Isn't it funny how the word "weep" in this song has become a command? And more ironic for the fact that it is in a line forbidding you to do exactly that.
One of several Tom Waits songs that could bring sobs every time if I let it. Also on the list are "Kentucky Avenue", "Soldier's Things" and "No One Knows I'm Gone".
Hey Guys we would love your opinion on us man, we love Tom and are really influened by him,, he is a legend !!!!! so if you are listening to this you have taste!!
Sun is red; moon is cracked Daddy's never coming back Nothing's ever yours to keep Close your eyes, go to sleep If I die before you wake Don't you cry, don't you weep Nothing's ever as it seems Climb the ladder to you dreams If I die before you wake Don't you cry, don't you weep Nothing's ever yours to keep Close your eyes; go to sleep
Great heart and soul thanks Tom for the inspiration

Its a tragic song about the truth of life:
nothing you have
nothing will ever really belong to you
so go to sleep and be in peace with everything.

Waits is a lyrical genius -
someone who can create soundscrapes
not only in his music, but also in his lyrics.
He didn't have to 'officially' be in the
"Rock and Roll Hall of Fame."
His loyal fans put him there many years ago
and passed him on to each new generation.
It is to them I say ~
Heart-thanks for the priceless gift of Tom Waits!

Is this a Serbian ballad, or is the photo montage just the video creators choice?

It is not Serbian ballad, of course. It's just my choice...

@alexodicino
If anything it would be a German ballad, as the whole of the Album Blood money (which this song is from) is based on the german play Woyzeck.
