Translation of the song Sarajevska raja artist Henda

Ljubio sam jednu malu sa Baščaršije

I kissed a small one from Bascarsija**

ljeto dođe, a ja tužan ne mogu do nje

Summer came, and I was sad for I couldn't go to her

po Parizu, Beogradu, druže jedini

Around Paris, Belgrade, my only friend

volio bih i ja s tobom sada šetati

And I would love to walk with you now

Ref. 2x

(Refrain, 2x)

Sarajevska raja

Sarajevo Rayah,

dok gradovi Bosnom gore

While the cities of Bosnia burn

daleko ste bili

You've been far away

kad je teško, Sarajevo ostavili

When it's hard, Sarajevo's remained

Volim tvoju pjesmu staru jer me podsjeća

I love your old song for it reminds me

na pijane noći naše behar proljeća

Of our drunken nights, of the spring blossom

ovo nije tvoje borba, drugi ratuju

This isn't your struggle, others make war,

ipak, druže, ti si tamo, a ja sam još tu

However, friend, you are over there, and I am still here

Ref. 2x

(Refrain, 2x)

Kad se vratiš jednog dana pozdraviću te

When you return one day, I will greet you

ništa više neće biti k'o što bilo je

Nothing will still be how it was

nemoj biti tužan tada niko nije kriv

Don't be sad then, it's not anyone's fault

spasio si svoju glavu, ostao sam živ

You saved your head, I remained alive

Ref. 4x

(Refrain, 4x)
