Don’t let the soul be filled with sorrow
Don’t let the song ever fade away
The soul still longs for companionship
To breathe in Bosnia’s fragrance
Don’t let the soul be filled with sorrow
Don’t let the song ever fade away
The soul still longs for companionship
For the soul, the healing balm
Is sevdah
A song will bring back peaceful sleep
A song will turn the darkness into day
And the warm sun shall shine again
For every Bosnian soul
Jewels glitter with a false glow
The heart has no need for money
Let Bosnians and Herzegovinians
Breathe together as one soul
Jewels glitter with a false glow
The heart has no need for money
Let Bosnians and Herzegovinians
Breathe together as one soul
Don’t let a tear begin to fall
Bring back my springtime once again
The soul still longs for companionship
To breathe in Bosnia’s fragrance
Don’t let a tear begin to fall
Bring back my springtime once again
As long as the heart can feel sevdah
Springtimes breathe within the soul
A song will bring back peaceful sleep
A song will turn the darkness into day
And the warm sun shall shine again
For every Bosnian soul
Jewels glitter with a false glow
The heart has no need for money
Let Bosnians and Herzegovinians
Breathe together as one soul
Don’t let the soul be filled with sorrow Don’t let the song ever fade away The soul still longs for companionship To breathe in Bosnia’s fragrance Don’t let the soul be filled with sorrow Don’t let the song ever fade away The soul still longs for companionship For the soul, the healing balm Is sevdah A song will bring back peaceful sleep A song will turn the darkness into day And the warm sun shall shine again For every Bosnian soul Jewels glitter with a false glow The heart has no need for money Let Bosnians and Herzegovinians Breathe together as one soul Jewels glitter with a false glow The heart has no need for money Let Bosnians and Herzegovinians Breathe together as one soul Don’t let a tear begin to fall Bring back my springtime once again The soul still longs for companionship To breathe in Bosnia’s fragrance Don’t let a tear begin to fall Bring back my springtime once again As long as the heart can feel sevdah Springtimes breathe within the soul A song will bring back peaceful sleep A song will turn the darkness into day And the warm sun shall shine again For every Bosnian soul Jewels glitter with a false glow The heart has no need for money Let Bosnians and Herzegovinians Breathe together as one soul
