Lyrics and translation Safet Isović - Kad ja podjem draga

Kad ja podjem draga

Kad ja podjem draga iz Saraj'va grada,
Ti ne plači, draga, ne daj srcu jada.
A kad čuješ, draga, da sam poginuo,
Kroz ordiju prodji, na mezar mi dodji.
Kako ću ti, dragi, ja mezar poznati?
Lahko ćeš mi, draga, ti mezar poznati:
Na mome mezaru dva zlatna nišana,
Na prvom je, draga, burma pozlaćena,
A na drugom, draga, vezena mahrama.

When I Go, My Love

When I go, my love, from the city of Sarajevo,
Don't cry, my love, don't let your heart break.
But when you hear, my love, that I have fallen,
Go through the hordes, come to my grave.
How will I know your grave, my dear?
You'll easily know my grave, my dear:
On my grave are two golden markers,
On the first, my love, a gilded ring,
And on the other, my love, an embroidered handkerchief.
