Pley all the songs for me tonight
Play all the songs,
all the songs for me tonight,
let everything glow
like torches burning bright.
Play all the songs,
all the songs for me tonight,
let every song reach
the depths of my Bosnian soul.
Let the music tonight
drive all my sorrow away,
here so far,
so far from Bosnia.
Let the music tonight
drive all my sorrow away,
and through every song
let me breathe Bosnia’s fragrance.
Let the music tonight
drive all my sorrow away,
and through every song
let me breathe Bosnia’s fragrance.
[
Play all the songs,
all the songs for me tonight,
let their melodies
hide all my sorrow from sight.
Let every song
set my soul proudly aflame—
for a song of Sevdah,
I will forgive everything.

drive all my sorrow away,
here so far,
so far from Bosnia.

drive all my sorrow away,
and through every song
let me breathe Bosnia’s fragrance.

drive all my sorrow away,
and through every song
let me breathe Bosnia’s fragrance.
