Translation of the song Sarajevo ljubavi moja artist Kemal Monteno
Sarajevo ljubavi moja
Sarajevo, Love of Mine
Zajedno smo rasli grade ja i ti,
We grew up together city, you and me
isto plavo nebo poklonilo nam stih,
the same blue sky gave us rhymes
ispod Trebevica sanjali smo sne,
under Trebevic we dreamt dreams
ko ce brze rasti ko ce ljepsi biti.
who will grow faster who will be nicer
Ti si bio velik a rodio se ja
You were great, and I was born
s Igmana uz osmijeh slao si mi san
From Igman with a smile you sent me my dreams
djecak koji raste zavolio te tad
A boy growing up fell in love with you then
ostao je ovde vezan za svoj grad.
He stayed here, connected to his city
Bilo gdje da krenem o tebi sanjam
Wherever I turn, I dream of you
putevi me svi tebi vode,
All roads lead me to you
cekam s nekom ceznjom na svijetla tvoja
I wait with some longing for your lights
Sarajevo ljubavi moja,
Sarajevo love of mine
Pjesme svoje imas i ja ih pjevam
You have your songs, and I sing them
zelim da ti kazem sta sanjam
I want to tell you what I dream
radosti su moje i sreca tvoja
The pleasures are mine and happiness yours
Sarajevo ljubavi moja.
Sarajevo love of mine
Kada prodju zime i dodje lijepi maj
When the cold passes and fine May comes
djevojke su ljepse ljubavi im daj
The girls are nicer, give them love
setaliste tamno uzdasima zri
Walk the walkways with sighs in the dark
neke oci plave neke rijeci njezne.
Some blue eyes, some tender words
Sad je djecak covjek i zima pokri brijeg
Now the boy is a man and the winter covers the mounatin
park i kosa bijeli al otici ce snijeg
The park and hair is grey, but the snow will go away
proljece i mladost ispunice tad
Spring and youth will then fill
Sarajevo moje jedini moj grad
my Sarajevo, my only city
