Bosnian

Kad sve ovo bude juce

Dan bez svijetla, zora bez pijetla
noc bez zvijezda, ptica bez gnijezda
nit' se neba plave nit' mirisu trave
sta to tamo rade nase lude glave

Sve sto zelim reci da kucnuo je posljednji cas

Viza, kriza, duldung ofental
Berlin, Bec, malme vupertal
gore, dolje, svuda pusto polje
da li smo zasluzili da nam bude bolje

Sve sto zelim reci da kucnuo je posljednji cas
ne bude li Bosne
tada nece biti ni nas

Mi smo samo krvava mrlja
na bijelosvjetskom TV-ekranu
oni koji treba u tisini da nestanu
sta njima znace nasi zivoti
sto to oni znaju o ljepoti
nek zauvijek u blatu lazi ostanu

Ref.
Jednom kad sve ovo bude juce
kad zora svane, a svanuce
nemoj da ti bol grudi steze
sto nisi bio tu kad je bilo najteze

Daj mi dan u kom si sretan
daj mi samo mrvu toplog ljeta
daj mi snove koji nocna mora ne postanu
budi ruka koja Bosnu brani
budi ruka koja Bosnu hrani
da vec sutra nasi snovi java postanu

Jednom kad sve ovo bude juce
stavit ces na krilo unuce
kad bosanske zime zasnijeze
reci, ja sam bio tu
kad je bilo najteze
ja sam bio s Bosnom
kad je bilo najteze

English

When All This Will Be Yesterday

A day without light, a morning without a rooster
A night without a star, a bird without a nest
The skies aren't coloured blue neither do the grasses smell
what are our insane minds/heads doing there

Everything which I've wanted to say is that the last hour has struck

Visum, crisis, ...
Berlin, Vienna, ...
up there, down here, everywhere empty fields
have we earned that things will be better for us

Everything which I've wanted to say is that the last hour has struck
If there won't be Bosnia
Than there wouldn't be us

We are nothing but a bloody spot
on the TV-screen
Those who'd need to dissapear in silence
what do our lives mean to them
What do they know about beauty
let the lies forever remain in the mud

Ref.
Once when all of this will be yesterday
when dawn will break and it surely will
don't let the pain your chest
why weren't you there when it was most needed

Give me a day in which you're happy
Give me just a crumble of the warm summer
Give me dreams which don't turn into nightmares
be the hand that defends Bosnia
be the hand that feeds Bosnia
so that tomorrow our dreams already can become reality

Once when all of this will be yesterday
you'll take your grandchild into your lap
when the Bosnian winters ...
say, I was there
during the most difficult period
I was with Bosnia
during the most difficult period

the translation sucks. it just taken word by word and it makes no sense!

Why don't you post a better one?

It's not the translation that sucks, it's a consequence of translating anything into English - such a cold, unfeeling language, compared to Bosnian.
