Bosnian

U Jevrema slika ta

English translation

The Picture At Jevrem's Place

Govori vam slobodni Beograd

This is the liberated Belgrade speaking

zbijegova više nema

There are no more refugee camps

okupljeni narod

The nation dances

igra balkansko kolo

The Balkan kolo in unison

Na svim dijelovima

On every part

oslobođene teritorije

Of the liberated land

čuje se pjesma

The song rings

Živio narodni front, živio

Long live the Popular front, long live

Živio narodni orkestar, živio

Long live the national orchestra, long live

Kod dobroga Jevrema

At good Jevrem's place

staroga fotografa

The old photographer

u izlogu slika ta

There's a picture in the display window

tužna ti a sretan ja

Miserable you, but happy me

Bacio sam sliku tu

I threw that picture away

otiš'o na Kozaru

And went up to Kozara

sliku nisam našao

I didn't find the picture

pa te zaboravio

And forgot about you

Nakon teških godina

After many difficult years

vidjela me slika ta

The picture has found me

htjela reći tu sam ja

It wanted to say, ''right here I

čekala te, čekala

waited for you, I waited''

Oći sam oborio

I lowered my gaze

dugo sliku gledao

Stared at the picture for a long time

toga maja šta mi bi

That May, what was I supposed to do

ja se opet zaljubi

I fell in love again

Povela me slika ta

The picture guided me

do staroga Jevrema

To old Jevrem's place

u izlogu najdraža

In the display window was my loved one

sretna kao nekad ja

Happy, just as I once was

u izlogu najdraža

In the display window was my loved one

al' onaj do nje nisam ja

But that man next to her isn't me

Pokret drugovi

Let's move, comrades
