Translation of the song lyrics Sarajevo grade moj - Halid Beslic

Sarajevo grade moj (original)

Sarajevo, grade moj
njoj sam dao zivot svoj
pozdravi mi majku staru
lijepu Azru u beharu
Ref.
Sarajevo, Sarajevo
seher Bosno, volim te
lijepa Azro, lijepa Azro
svud po svijetu trazim te
Nije meni, grade moj
sto sam dao zivot njoj
vec sto sanjam svjetla tvoja
Sarajevo, sreco moja
Ref.
Tuzan sam ti, grade moj
kao onaj behar tvoj
i dok tvoje grane lome
jos si drazi srcu mome
Ref.

Sarajevo grade moj (translation)

Sarajevo, my citadel of stone,
for her I have surrendered all my days,
greet my mother, silver-haired with years,
and Azra—blossoming in the orchard’s haze,

Sarajevo, Sarajevo—
proud Bosnian dawn, I cherish thee,
radiant Azra, radiant Azra—
across the world’s far fields I search for thee,
It is not, O city mine,
regret for the life I gave her so,
but longing for your lanterns in my dream,
Sarajevo, source of all my glow,

Grief is my companion in your shadow, city dear,
like that lone blossom withered on your bough,
while stormwinds break your branches in the night,
yet dearer still you grow within my brow,
