Bosnian War Songs - Ja ti odoh majko Bosnu braniti (English translation)

Bosnian

Original lyrics

Ja ti odoh majko Bosnu braniti

Pitala me majka kuda ideš sine

Nemoj ići tamo nemoj gdje se gine

Ja ti odoh majko Bosnu braniti

Ako poginem nemoj žaliti

Sarajevo gori gori dio mene

Bosna sva u krvi meni srce vene

Odoh i ja majko Bosnu braniti

Ako poginem nemoj žaliti

Mnogi moji drugovi živote dadoše

Ja da gledam njemo nemogu više

Odoh i ja majko Bosnu braniti

Ako poginem nemoj žaliti

English

Translation

My mother asked me, Where are you going son?

Boy don´t go somewhere dangerous

Mother, I´m going to defend Bosnia

If I die, don´t mourn

Sarajevo is burning, burning in a part of me

Bosnia runs in the blood in my veins

Mother, I´m going to defend Bosnia

If I die, don´t mourn

Many of my friends gave their lives

I can´t just stand and watch

Mother, I´m going to defend Bosnia

If I die, don´t mourn
