Translation of the song Minka artist Crvena jabuka
Minka
Minka
Usne su joj dvije žeravice
Her lips are two embers
željne ljubavi
eager for love
dukat krije na dnu maramice
the ducat hides at the bottom of the handkerchief
miraz jedini
dowry only
Tiha sjena, časna i poštena
A quiet shadow, honorable and fair
ali ljudima
but to people
smeta što još nije isprošena
it bothers her that she hasn’t been begged yet
to je sudbina
it is destiny
Zlato moje, moja Minka
My gold, my Minka
moga srca sevdalinka
of my heart sevdalinka
niz Kovače kad zanese
down the Blacksmith when he gets carried away
čaršija se sva zatrese
the bazaar all shook
Zlato moje, moja Minka
My gold, my Minka
moga srca sevdalinka
of my heart sevdalinka
iz oka joj ljubav sijeva
love shines from her eye
vječna vatra Sarajeva
eternal fire of Sarajevo
Oči su joj uvijek pune nade
Her eyes are always full of hope
željne istine
eager for truth
zato kad je sjećanje ukrade
so when the memory steals it
mene spomene
She mentions me
Tiha sjena, časna i poštena
A quiet shadow, honorable and fair
ali ljudima
but to people
smeta što još nije isprošena
it bothers her that she hasn’t been begged yet
to je sudbina
it is destiny
Zlato moje, moja Minka
My gold, my Minka
moga srca sevdalinka
of my heart sevdalinka
niz Kovače kad zanese
down the Blacksmith when he gets carried away
čaršija se sva zatrese
the bazaar all shook
Zlato moje, moja Minka
My gold, my Minka
moga srca sevdalinka
of my heart sevdalinka
iz oka joj ljubav sijeva
love shines from her eye
vječna vatra Sarajeva
eternal fire of Sarajevo
Zlato moje, moja Minka
My gold, my Minka
moga srca sevdalinka
of my heart sevdalinka
iz oka joj ljubav sijeva
love shines from her eye
vječna vatra Sarajeva
eternal fire of Sarajevo
Niz Kovače kad zanese
Down the Blacksmith when he gets carried away
čaršija se sva zatrese
the bazaar all shook
niz Kovače kad zanese
down the Blacksmith when he gets carried away
čaršija se sva zatrese
the bazaar all shook
