He prayed to Jesus, she prayed to Allah
They loved each other, it was forever
They met in high school, it was so easy
Now there was shelling, it got so crazy
They knew that somehow
He’d answer their prayers tonight
They’d go to movies, she cried at E.T.
They’d go out dancing, he loved his Iggy
Then there was no food, there was no power
Now there was no hope, hour to hour
Their love was outcast
He’d answer their prayers tonight
In your arms he’d say to her
He would always be
She would say the war could not
Ever change the world for you and me, my sweet
We’ll go to Belgrade, he said don’t worry
The war was growing like grandfather’s stories
She packed her diary, her golden bracelet
The soldiers told them they’d have safe passage
She wrote a letter
They were in His hands tonight
In your arms he’d say to her
He would always be
She would say the war could not
Ever change the world for you and me, my sweet
She hugged her parents, he held her hand tight
Down to the river, the bridge was in sight
He fell behind her, now she was bleeding
And as she sinks down, she crawls up to him
They die embracing
Around the world tonight
He prayed to Jesus, she prayed to Allah
They loved each other, it was forever
The gunman was blessed
His prayers were answered tonight
They loved each other, it was forever
They met in high school, it was so easy
Now there was shelling, it got so crazy
They knew that somehow
He’d answer their prayers tonight
They’d go to movies, she cried at E.T.
They’d go out dancing, he loved his Iggy
Then there was no food, there was no power
Now there was no hope, hour to hour

They loved each other, it was forever
The gunman was blessed
His prayers were answered tonight

Versione italiana di Moira Giusti
BOSKO E ADMIRA
Lui pregava Gesù, lei pregava Allah
si amavano, per sempre
si incontrarono alle superiori, fu così normale
ora c'erano i bombardamenti, era una follia.
Sapevano che qualcuno
stanotte avrebbe esaudito le loro preghiere
Andavano al cinema, lei pianse per E.T.
andavano a ballare, lui amava Iggy
Allora non c'era cibo, non c'era potere
ora non c'era speranza
e il loro amore era proibito
Dio aveva risposto alle loro preghiere stanotte.
Lui le disse che avrebbe voluto
restare fra le sue braccia per sempre
Lei avrebbe voluto dirgli: la guerra
non potrà mai cambiare le cose tra noi, tesoro mio
Lui disse: andremo a Belgrado, non aver paura
la guerra cresceva come nelle storie dei nonni
lei prese il suo diario, il suo braccialetto d'oro
i soldati dissero loro che sarebbero passati senza pericolo
lei scrisse una lettera
erano nelle Sue mani stanotte
Lui le disse che avrebbe voluto
restare fra le sue braccia per sempre
Lei avrebbe voluto dirgli: la guerra
non potrà mai cambiare le cose tra noi, tesoro mio
Lei abbracciò i genitori, lui le strinse forte le mani
lungo il fiume il ponte era in vista
lui cadde dietro di lei, lei sanguinava
e si lasciò cadere , si trascinò vicino a lui
morirono abbracciati
stanotte intorno al mondo
Lui pregava Gesù, lei pregava Allah
si amavano, per sempre
chi li uccise era fortunato
stanotte le sue preghiere erano state esaudite.

A tune about the Romeo & Juliet of Sarajevo.
Long Description of Song
A ballad that tells the love story of Bosko & Amdira - the Romeo & Juliet of Sarajevo. The spirited music serves to emphasize the tragedy of their murders, and the failure of the warring religions.
Story Behind the Song
Admira & Bosko were lovers in war-torn Sarajevo. They were targeted because they were of differing religions. They were killed because they loved each other more than they loved God, a capital offense. A totally unique message and song.
