Lyrics and translation Thompson - Bosna

Bosna

"Ora et labora"

Bosna
Pjesmo moja,
Pjevat ću te tamo,
Tamo gdje je naša loza počela,
Staroj majci kolijevci Hrvata
Gdje se naša povijest krvlju pisala.
Istina o Bosni kroz kanjone teče
I mnoge njene tajne kriju stoljeća

Od davnina na nju svak′ juriša,
Ko da nije dosta snjegova i kiša
Sa svih strana svijeta
Dolazile tvrde sile mraka
Ko da narod tamo gine iz meraka.

Jučer svetinja, Danas raspeta
Bosna ponosna, ranjena

Ref: Tamo gdje sunce putuje
Vjetar nosi glas
Bosna zove nas
Tamo gdje sunce putuje
Tu me čekaj ti...
...Kreni preko planina
Starom stazom djedova
Bosna će ti reći sve

Gledaj lijepu Lašvansku dolinu
Uvijek su je naša zvona budila,
Zlatna polja, našu Posavinu,
Grobovi su puni njenih sinova

Sa svih strana svijeta
Dolazile tvrde sile mraka
Ko da narod tamo gine iz meraka

Jučer svetinja, Danas raspeta
Bosna ponosna, ranjena

Ref: Tamo gdje sunce putuje
Vjetar nosi glas
Bosna zove nas
Tamo gdje sunce putuje
Tu me čekaj ti...
...Kreni preko planina
Starom stazom djedova
Bosna će ti reći sve
Odakle nam prezime

Dala Bosna Tomislava kralja,
Prvog kralja od loze Hrvata
A kraljica dobra bješe Katarina,
U narodu zbog nje nosi se crnina.
Sred Duvanjskog polja široka i ravna
Pisala se tamo naša povijest slavna.

Kada Bosni pogledaš u lice
U suzi joj vidiš drinske mučenice
Čuvali te, Bosno, usamljeni vuci
Slavio ih narod, zvali se hajduci
A Srebrnu Bosnu sačuvaše vjerom
Franjevačka braća i dušom i tijelom.

Bosno moja, čija li si sada
Boli li te danas više nego prije.
Tko to misli da te ima,
Da sa tobom vlada
Njega povijest ništa naučila nije.

Jučer svetinja, Danas raspeta
Bosna ponosna, ranjena

Ref: Tamo gdje sunce putuje
Vjetar nosi glas
Bosna zove nas
Tamo gdje sunce putuje
Tu me čekaj ti...
...Kreni preko planina
Starom stazom djedova
Bosna će ti reći sve
Odakle nam prezime

Bosnia

"Ora et labora"

Bosnia
My song,
I will sing you there,
There where our lineage began,
Ancient mother of the Croats' cradle
Where our history was written in blood.
The truth about Bosnia flows through its canyons
And many of its secrets hide behind centuries

Since ancient times everyone has attacked it,
As if there were not enough snow and rain
From every corner of the world
The hard forces of darkness came
As if the people there were dying of the sorrow.

Yesterday a sanctuary, Today crucified
Bosnia, proud and wounded

Ref: Where the sun travels
The wind carries the sound
Bosnia calls us
Where the sun travels
There, wait for me...
...Travel over the mountains
On the old path of our grandfathers
Bosnia will tell you everything

Look at the beautiful Lašva valley
Our bells have always woken it up,
Golden fields, our Posavina,
Its graves are full of its sons

From every corner of the world
The hard forces of darkness came
As if the people there were dying of the sorrow

Yesterday a sanctuary, Today crucified
Bosnia, proud and wounded

Ref: Where the sun travels
The wind carries the sound
Bosnia calls us
Where the sun travels
There, wait for me...
...Travel over the mountains
On the old path of our grandfathers
Bosnia will tell you everything
Where our name comes from

Bosnia gave us the king Tomislav,
First king of the line of Croats
And the queen was good Katherine,
The people wear black for her.
In the middle of the wide and flat Duvanjsko polje,
Our glorious history was written there.

When you look into Bosnia's face
In her tears, you will see the Drina martyrs
The solitary wolves guarded you, Bosnia,
People praised them, they called them bandits
And they preserved Silver Bosnia with faith
The Franciscan brothers with their soul and body.

My Bosnia, who do you belong to now?
Do you hurt more today than before?
Who thinks he owns you,
That he reigns over you
History has taught him nothing.

Yesterday a sanctuary, Today crucified
Bosnia, proud and wounded

Ref: Where the sun travels
The wind carries the sound
Bosnia calls us
Where the sun travels
There, wait for me...
...Travel over the mountains
On the old path of our grandfathers
Bosnia will tell you everything
Where our name comes from
