HFZ. AZIZ ALILI - ŠEHIDI

Aziz Alili - Šehidi lyrics English Translation

Šehidi, hej, miljenici, gdje ste vi?
> Hey Martyrs, dear ones, where are you?

Kraj cesme, hej, stoji peškir vezeni!
I bardak, hej, od kojeg smo stvoreni!
Šehidi, hej, miljenici, gdje ste vi?
> Embroidered towel stays near the fountain
> And an (earthenware) cup, from which we were created
> Hey Martyrs, dear ones, where are you?

Šehidi, hej, evlijade, gdje ste vi?
> Hey Martyrs, saint ones, where are you?

U prahu, hej, trag tabana bosenih!
Ko klanja, hej, na sofama zelenim?
Šehidi, hej, evlijade, gdje ste vi?
> Hey, (whose) foot prints on the dust
> Hey, who prays on the green carpet
> Hey Martyrs, saints, where are you?

Šehidi, hej, mirišljivi, gdje ste vi?
> Hey Martyrs, fragrant ones, where are you?

Kraj sela, hej, dvorci vaši po Bosni:
u bašci, hej, pokošeni cvjetovi!
Šehidi, hej, mirišljivi, gdje ste vi?
> Hey, there are castles of you near villages in Bosnia
> Hey, you mown flowers in the gardens
> Hey Martyrs, fragrant ones, where are you?

Šehidi, hej, ptice bjele, gdje ste vi?
> Hey Martyrs, white birds, where are you?

Ko laste, hej, selice ste veseli!
Skup zvjezda, hej, u tespihu treptavih!
Šehidi, hej, ptice bjele, gdje ste vi?
> Hey, you are cheerful like migratory swallows
> Hey, you together with stars, winking in prayer beads
> Hey Martyrs, white birds, where are you?
