Sevdalinka(original) |
| Štagod noćas da zapevam |
| Vući će na sevdalinku |
| Usnuo sam čobanicu |
| Uplakanu u šljiviku |
| Grom udari, planu seno |
| Rasturi se stado njeno |
| Zaplete se dim na uvojku |
| Reče da se zove Bosna |
| Čudno ime za devojku? |
| Nekom Drina teče desno |
| Nekom Drina lijevo teče |
| Sve da teče u dubinu |
| Na dve pole svet da seče |
| Znam tajni gaz, moje lane |
| Most se pruži gde ja stanem |
| Sve da vuku me konji vrani |
| Nema meni jedne strane, dok si ti na drugoj strani |
| Osta ovaj stari kompas u grudima |
| A po polju nikli zabrani |
| Crne senke što se gnezde |
| U ljudima nadleću me kao gavrani |
| Nekada sam putovao po mjesecu |
| Kroz vilajet pun hajdučije |
| A sada me oči ljudske |
| Plaše više nego vučije |
| Stoputa su prijatelji |
| U molitvi pomenuti |
| Dal' će mi se radovati? |
| Ili glavu okrenuti? |
| Šta slagati? |
| Šta im kasti? |
| Svet ne možeš pesmom spasti |
| Njine brige me i noćas brinu |
| Dok se spremam na put kući, u tuđinu… |
| Svetom smo se rasipali ko đerdani |
| Nosili nas nebom ćilimi |
| Da li su to stvarno bili bolji dani |
| Ili smo to bolji bili mi? |
| Nekad smo se bratimili po pogledu |
| Sluteći da isto sanjamo |
| I Bogu je prosto bilo |
| Krstimo l' se ili klanjamo |
| (translation) |
| Whatever I sing tonight |
| He will pull on the sevdalinka |
| I fell asleep to the shepherdess |
| Crying in the plum tree |
| Thunder strikes, haymaking |
| Her flock was scattered |
| Smoke entangled in the curl |
| He said his name was Bosnia |
| Strange name for a girl? |
| For some, the Drina flows to the right |
| For some, the Drina flows to the left |
| Everything to flow in depth |
| To cut the world in two fields |
| I know the secret draft, my lane |
| The bridge stretches where I stop |
| Everything to be pulled by horses and crows |
| There is no one side to me while you are on the other side |
| This old compass remains in his chest |
| And a ban grew in the field |
| Nesting black shadows |
| In humans, they overwhelm me like ravens |
| I used to travel by the moon |
| Through a vilayet full of bandits |
| And now my eyes are human |
| They scare more than wolves |
| They are friends a hundred times |
| Mentioned in prayer |
| Will I be happy? |
| Or turn your head? |
| What to lie about? |
| What castes them? |
| You can't save the world with a song |
| Her worries worry me tonight |
| As I prepare to travel home, to a foreign land… |
| We were scattered around the world like necklaces |
| They carried us across the sky carpets |
| Were those really better days |
| Or were we better? |
| We used to be brothers in looks |
| Guessing we're dreaming the same thing |
| And it was easy for God |
| Whether we are baptized or worshiped |
