DINO:
Dabogda kćeri da
dragi Allah jednom da
da tobe dođem
dunjaluka prođem
Idu dani svud
širok gaze drum
a i noći još brže
sve k’o dlan o dlan
pa se upitam
kako noge izdrže
Refren:
Lijevo – desno, desno – lijevo
malo mi Sarajevo
HARI:
Dabogda kćeri da
dragi Allah sreću da
al’ su blizu vrata taksirata
Kuca tika tak
hladna kao pak
vekerica srca moga
šta mi vrijedi sad rubin i smaragd
šta mi vrijedi prolazna ljepota
Refren:
Lijevo – desno, desno – lijevo
tijesno mi Sarajevo
Duet:
Dabogda kćeri da
dragi Allah dženet da
al’ malo je vruće
oko ove kuće
Kakav sam ja griješnik
u kući grijeha vijećnik
s kakvim se haramima družio…
Bože daj mi ti
svoje milosti
a ne onako kako sam zaslužio
REF:
Lijevo – desno, desno – lijevo
ubiće nas Sarajevo
English Translation
God Help Us
DINO:
God help us, daughter, that
dear Allah once allows
me to come to my senses
me to see the world
Days are passing everywhere
trampling across the wide road
and nights even faster
everything like when you clap your hands
so I wonder
how can legs take it
Chorus:
Left, right, right left
Sarajevo is too small for me
HARI:
God help us, daughter, that
dear Allah gives us happiness
but the door of misfortune is close
Ticking tick tack
cold like puck
the alarm clock of my heart
what are ruby and emerald now worth to me
what’s in the passing beauty for me
Chorus:
Left, right, right left
Sarajevo is too tight for me
Duet:
God help us, daughter, that
dear Allah gives heaven
but it’s a bit hot
around this house
What kind of a sinner am I
councilor in the house of sins
the sorts of sins I’ve mingled with…
God have
mercy
but not the kind that I deserved
Chorus:
Left, right, right left
Sarajevo will kill us
