SAFET ISOVIC - U STAMBOLU NA BOSFORU

U STAMBOLU NA BOSFORU LYRICS

U Stambolu na Bosforu
bolan pasa lezi
dusa mu je na izmaku
crnoj zemlji tezi

Molitva je njemu sveta
dok mujezin sa munare
uci glasom svim
la illahe illelah sellam alejkum

Kad ste vjerno sluge moje
sluzili moj harem
neka svaki od vas uzme
jednu zenu barem

Iz oka mu suza kanu
pa na minder mrtav panu
stari musliman
la illahe illelah sellam alejkum

Kad je cula pasinica
takvu tuznu vijest
da je pasa preselio
na ahiret svijet
iz oka joj suza kanu
pa kraj pase mrtva panu
ljubav pasina
la illahe illelah sellam alejkum









U STAMBOLU NA BOSFORU ENGLISH TRANSLATION

In Istanbul on Bosforus lays pasha in pains
His soul is on his mouth, headed for the dark ground
The prayer is sacred to him, while mujezin from the minaret
Recites loudly “"La illahe illallah, selam-alejkum!"

My obedient servants, because you served my harem,
let each one of you take to themselves one woman at least.
A tear fell from his eye and (he) fell dead to the minder - old Musliman;
"La illahe illallah, selam aleikum!"

When pasha’s wife heard that sad news,
that pasha left for another world,
A tear fell from her eye and (she) fell dead on the ground – pasha’s love
"La illahe illallah, selam aleikum!"
