Asim Bajramović
the Neretva, Una, and Trebišnjica,
Kozara, Velež, and Treskavica,
the Sana riverbed and the Drina canyon,
remember, son — that is Bosnia.
More beautiful than light,
stronger than darkness,
where a Bosnian
would die for the hills.
Where sevdah takes sorrow
away from the heart,
remember, son — that is Bosnia.
Leotar, Maglić, and Majevica,
Konjuh, Igman, and Bjelašnica,
and the scent of ancient yahorina,
remember, son — that is Bosnia.
More beautiful than light,
stronger than darkness,
where a Bosnian
would die for the hills.
Where sevdah takes sorrow
away from the heart,
remember, son — that is Bosnia.
Krivaja, Pliva, and Miljacka,
clear Mušnica near Gacko,
gentle hills and valleys,
remember, son — that is Bosnia.
More beautiful than light,
stronger than darkness,
where a Bosnian
would die for the hills.
Where sevdah takes sorrow
away from the heart,
remember, son — that is Bosnia
