A very sad song about child abuse of all time. I always thought this song was about a battered woman but 'Luka' is Slavic for 'Luke', the song is about a 7 or 8yo boy.
I do understand that this song is about a little boy being abused, not a battered wife. The line "They only hit until you cry" means that more than one person is abusing the narrator. Of course she could be making a generalization about men or abusive people in general, but within the context of the song, I think that it sounds like it's a child talking about their situation.
