Original lyrics

Bosanka

Strepim oči da zatvorim
Sada ni sebe ne vidim
U meni je bunar u kojem se krijem
Čekaću junaka da mi ruku da
Kad srca više nemaš ti da svoje daš
 
Ja sam, bolan, Bosanka
Crnja sam i od mraka
Vedrija od bijelog dana
Bore ti halalit’ neću
Rukama ti vežem sreću
Nemam, ma nemam ja
Više kuveta, nemam ni za šta
 
Dišem i bez tebe dišem
Sad ti oprost poklanjam
U meni je košmar iz kojeg se budim
Jer žena prejaka srca ima dva
Junaku da da

Translation

Bosnian woman

I am afraid to close my eyes
Now I can’t even see myself
There’s a well inside me where I hide
Where I wait for a hero to give me his hand
When you no longer have a heart to give what's yours
 
I am, my dear, a Bosnian woman*
Darker than the night
Brighter than the white day
I won’t forgive you your wrinkles
With my hands, I’ll tie your luck
I have no, oh I have no
No more strength left, not for anything
 
I breathe, I breathe even without you
Now I gift you my forgiveness
Inside me is a nightmare I’m waking from
Because a woman that’s too strong has two hearts
To give one to her hero
