Do kraja vremena


Do kraja vremena

i sada opet
jek lanca teškog
dok mrak nadire
a sunce pada
hiljadu godina
nastavlja priča
kad dođu noći
bez sna i mira

kod svake zore
predahnem malo
odmorim srce
i uvijek tako
vrijeme proteče
primirje ode
zar već je prošlo
pitam se Bože

a dušman svoje
nakane tjera
blještave boje
razloge svoje
smrt ga vodi
još jednom kreće
u zlom naumu
ime ti neće
ni izgovorit

domovino
zlatnoga cvijeća
ne može zlotvor
tebe ni pojmit

zvjezdano nebo
opet se spušta
kameni spavač
svoj luk mi pruža
nikad daleko
ni s kraja svijeta
rijeke ti hladne
su krv moja vrela

i da se rodim
stotinu puta
branim te Bosno
do sudnjeg dana
ne dam te Bosno
ne dam te draga
vidam ti rane
iz zadnjeg pakla
brišem ti suze
ljubim ti ruke
sve do samog
kraja vremena
branim te mila
do sudnjeg dana

Until the End of Time

and now again
the echo of heavy chains
as darkness descends
and the sun sets
for a thousand years
the story goes on
when the nights come
without sleep or peace

at every dawn
I catch my breath
I rest my heart
and always so
time passes by
the truce is gone
has it passed already
I ask, my God

and the enemy drives
his old designs
his shining colors
his own reasons
death leads him on
once more he moves
in his evil purpose
he will not even
speak your name

homeland
of golden flowers
no evildoer
can even grasp you

the starry sky
descends again
the sleeper of stone
offers me his bow
never far away
not from the edge of the world
your cold rivers
are my burning blood

and born again
a hundred times
I defend you, Bosnia
until Judgment Day
I will not give you up, Bosnia
I will not give you up, my dear
I tend your wounds
from that last hell
I wipe your tears
I kiss your hands
until the very
end of time
I defend you, beloved
until Judgment Day
