Lyrics of Inverno a Sarajevo - Giuni Russo

Inverno a Sarajevo (original)

Era lungo l’inverno a Sarajevo
Fischiava un vento freddo a tramontana
Non mi scaldava il cuore
Era quasi Natale, mi mancavi
Era freddo l’inverno a Sarajevo
Per strada a volte si ballava Strauss
Notti chiare, preludio di mistero
Di neve s’imbiancava la citt?
Bagliori dal braciere sulle icone
L’amore che scoppiava dentro me Canti dolci di tzigani intorno a noi
Nella tua casa a Sarajevo rester?
Declinava l’impero degli Asburgo
Leggevo di nascosto Thomas Mann
Il profumo d’incenso nella chiesa
Saliva nella mente fino a te Bagliori del tuo volto nelle icone
Chiudevo gli occhi e mi stringevo a te Canti dolci di tzigani intorno a noi
Nella tua casa a Sarajevo rester?

(translation)

It was a long winter in Sarajevo
A cold north wind was blowing
It didn't warm my heart
It was almost Christmas, I missed you
It was cold winter in Sarajevo
Strauss was sometimes danced on the street
Clear nights, a prelude to mystery
Did the city turn white with snow?
Glows from the brazier on the icons
The love that burst inside me Sweet songs of Gypsies around us
Will you stay in your home in Sarajevo?
The Habsburg empire was declining
I was secretly reading Thomas Mann
The scent of incense in the church
It rose in the mind up to you. Flashes of your face in the icons
I closed my eyes and hugged you Sweet songs of gypsies around us
Will you stay in your home in Sarajevo?
