Translation of the song lyrics U Stambolu na Bosforu - Gothart

U Stambolu na Bosforu (original)

U Stambolu na Bosforu bolan paša leži
Duša mu je na izmaku, crnoj zemlji teži
Molitva je njemu sveta
Dok mujezin s minareta
Uči glasom svim:
«Allah illallah, selam alejkjum»!
«Dok ste vjerno sluge moje služili moj harem
Neka od vas svako uzme sedam žena barem»
Iz oka mu suza kanu
Pa na minder mrtav pa´nu
Stari musliman
«Allah illallah, selam alejkjum»!
Kad je čula pašinica za tu tužnu vijest
Da se paša preselio na Ahiret svijet
Iz oka joj suza kanu
Pokraj paše mrtva pa´nu
Ljubav pašina
«Allah illallah, selam alejkjum»!

U Stambolu na Bosforu (translation)

In Istanbul on the Bosphorus, a sick pasha lies
His soul is running out, the black earth is heavy
Prayer is sacred to him
While the muezzin from the minaret
Learn by voice to all:
"Allah illallah, peace be upon him!"
“While you have faithfully served my harem
Let each of you take seven women at least »
Tears came out of his eyes
Well on minder dead pa´nu
An old Muslim
"Allah illallah, peace be upon him!"
When she heard about that sad news
That the Pasha moved to the Hereafter world
Tears came out of her eyes
Next to the pasture, a dead woman
Pasha's love
"Allah illallah, peace be upon him!"
