This is my interpretation of a well known Yugoslav partisan/socialist song written by famous singer Djorde Balasevic. It speaks about younger generations born after the WWII, but despite criticism from older veterans they indeed are devoted to socialism and Yugoslav brotherhood and unity. Hence the song title - "You can count on us".
The illustration shows some revolutionary insignia ending with the statue of Marshall Josip Broz Tito and the official emblem of the Socialist Republic of Croatia (as was used during the existence of Yugoslavia)
Hope you like it ! : )
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
"Count on us"
VERSE 1:
In the name of all of us who were born in the 50's,
As my oath to Tito I composed this song.
I will not mention history and the old battles,
because I was born after all that
VERSE 2:
But there are many struggles in the life ahead of us,
these are threatening us as an endless abyss.
I know there will be at least a hundred more offensives,
but we must keep our peace
You can count on us
CHORUS:
some think that we've been led astray,
cause we listen to records and play rock.
But somewhere deep inside us there is a
revolutionary flame,
so listen to me when I say,
you can count on us !

VERSE 3 (final):
we carry the destiny of the days to come,
although some may fear for us,
there is the partisan blood flowing through our veins,
we know the reason why we are here
You can count on us
You can count on us
