Kišna Dova - Burhan Übersetzung ins Englische

Kišna Dova

Ja nisam plakao od svoje trin'este
Pred jednom dzamijom sred skopske carsije
Muskarci ne placu mati tad rekla je
Muskarci nemaju sad pravo na suze

Boze sad molim te da nebo sive halje odjene
Nad Saraj'vom neka poteku cesme nebeske
Zelim da sakrijem svoju tugu i suze
Neka me kise isprate od stanice do ponad carsije

Hocu da moja tuga samo meni pripada
Da skrijem suze od dosta i od dusmana
Da mogu kazati da se na moje lice izlila
Kisa sa kupola svih sarajevskih dzamija

Boze daj da me pokriva nebeska zavjesa
Da neko ne vidi kako mi tuga lice pohodi
A ja cu kazati da su slabe strehe i oluci
Jer sam se skrivao u sarajevskoj mahali

Na svoju tugu samo imam pravo ja
Ona od tudjih nije veca ni slabija
Muskarci ne placu, znam iz djetinjstva
Za me je kisa milost Bozija
Milost je danas kisa iznad Sarajeva

Ref. 2x

Rain Prayer

I haven't cried since I was thirteen
In front of a mosque in the middle of the Skopje bazaar
Men don't cry, Mother told me then
Men don't have the right to tears

God, I pray that the sky may don gray robes
May the heavenly fountains flow over Sarajevo
I want to hide my sorrow and my tears
May the rain escort me from the station to beyond the bazaar

I want my sorrow to belong only to me
To hide my tears from both friends and enemies
So that I can say that the rain has poured down my face
From the domes of all the mosques in Sarajevo

God, grant that I may be covered by a heavenly veil
So that no one may see how sorrow is trampling on my face
And I'll say that the roofs and the gutters are weak
Because I've been hiding in the mahala of Sarajevo

I alone have the right to my sorrow
It is neither greater nor lesser than that of others
Men don't cry, I learned that in childhood
For me, the rain is the mercy of God
The rain is the mercy of God above Sarajevo
