Lyrics and translation Hafiz Aziz Alili - Na Kovacima

Na Kovacima

Baščo bijela duše drage,
'Ej nisime sa Bakija.
Kad bih jutros u 'ejjanu,
Otplovio s vama i ja.

Mi plačemo, vi radosni,
Dunjaluk je varka svakom.
Nad Allahom sile nejma,
Iman Billah to je tako.

Sred Kovača k'o za sofrom,
Jedno srce s djecom snije.
Jedan ašik u sabahe,
Oblazi ih, suze lije.

On the Smiths

My dear white soul,
Alas, we're not from Bakija.
Had I sailed with you this morning,
In 'ejjanu, I too would've gone.

We weep, while you rejoice,
Dunjaluk deceives us all.
No power surpasses Allah,
Iman Billah teaches us this.

In the heart of Kovača, like at a table,
One heart dreams with the children.
A lone lover in the morning,
Visits them, shedding tears.
