Lyrics and translation Dino Merlin - Fotografija

Fotografija

Lutao sam svijetom, ja;
Od juga prema sjeveru;
Nosio i nadu i strah,
U starom koferu.
Imao sam planove
I slike i ramove;
Al′ je sve pokvarila,
Stara fotografija.
Ref.
Foto aksamija,
Begova dzamija;
Bistricka jalija,
S' njima ja sarajlija.
Nudili mi sve papire,
Psihijatre da me smire;
Znali su da svake noci,
Jedan dio mene umire.
Sve je ovo prokleto,
Kao da je oteto;
I nista nema takav sjaj,
Kao moja fotografija.

Photo

I wandered the world, you see;
From south to north;
I carried both hope and fear,
In an old suitcase.
I had plans
And pictures and frames;
But it was all ruined,
By an old photograph.
Chorus:
Photo of the velvet,
Of Beg's mosque;
Of the Bistrik prison,
With them I am a Sarajevan.
They offered me all the papers,
Psychiatrists to calm me down;
They knew that every night,
A part of me died.
All of this is cursed,
As if it were stolen;
And nothing has such a shine,
As my photograph.
Chorus:
Photo of the velvet,
Of Beg's mosque;
Of the Bistrik prison,
With them I am a Sarajevan.
All of this is cursed,
As if it were stolen;
And nothing has such a shine,
As my photograph.
Chorus:
Photo of the velvet,
Of Beg's mosque;
Of the Bistrik prison,
With them I am a Sarajevan.
