Original lyrics
Janicar
Harao je i palio
vitkom sabljom seko
carstvom cara Sulejmana
dugo na daleko
Jednog dana došao je
u borbama vođen
da zapali i poruši
mesto gde je rođen
Ref. 2x
Kob sudbine i njen danak
dade mu na dar
celi život da proživi
kao janičar
Na zgarištu puste kuće
plakala je žena stara
on poteze svoju sablju
sablju janičara
Zar zasija iz očiju
duši što sad gine
taman htede poseči je
ona reče sine
Ref. 2x
Nemoj sine ne greši se
ako svoga znadeš
majka sam ti poznajem ti
nad usnama mladež
Sjaha konja mlad janičar
i sablju ispusti
majka htede nešto reći
ali ne izusti
Ref. 2x
Kao janičar
(4x)

Translation
Janissary
He ravaged and burnt
With a thin sword he cut
The Suleiman’s Empire
Far and wide
One day he came
With a battalion
To burn and destroy
The place he was born
Chorus x2
Fate and its duty
Gave him the gift
Of spending his whole life
As a Janissary
Upon the ruins of an abandoned house
An old woman was crying
He drew his sword
The sword of a Janissary*
A fire sparked from the eyes
Of a soul that was about to die
Just as he was about to cut her,
She said son
Chorus x2
Don’t do it son, don’t sin
If you know your own kind
I am your mother, I recognise
The birthmark above your lip
The young Janissaries dismounted the horse
And put his sword down
The mother wanted to say something
But she didn’t utter the words
Chorus x2
As a Janissary
(x4)
