SARAJEVO	SARAJEVO
Sarajevo, podno Trebevića	At the foot of the mountain
U tebi je sinje more priča	Sarajevo nests, of stories a whole fountain
U tebi je raznog svijeta bilo	In it rests. Folk of yester times
Svako svoga traga ostavio	Left their lasting marks
Svako traga, a poneko vraga	some a mark, some a devil’s furrow
Ko će znati, ko je kakav straga	But looking back, who can know
Ko će znati, ko j’ uz koga bio	Who did well, who did not
Ko je kakve ratove vodio	And which wars were fought
A kome su slane suze lile	Who a bitter tear shed
Dok su bile zurle i borije	As flute and horn their tune led.
Sarajevo, podno Trebevića	At the foot of the mountain,
U tebi je sinje more priča	Sarajevo nests, of stories a fountain
U tebi su mnoge stare pjesme	Of old songs a treasure pot
O ljubavi što se pjevat’ ne sm’je	Of love that poems know not
Sve će tvoja djeca da odšute	Forever silent its children will remain
Tužne dane, sate i minute	With sadness their lives underlain
Učiće ih da mrze i truju	They will be taught venom and hate
O daljini dalekoj da snuju	Dreaming about a distant, happy fate
A kući se boje svoga praga	At home, they will fear their shadow
Ko će znati ko je kakav straga	But looking back, who can know.
