Safet Isovic "U Stambolu na Bosforu" lyrics

U Stambolu na Bosforu

U Stambolu na Bosforu bolan paša leži,duša mu je na izmaku, crnoj zemlji teži.molitva je njemu sveta,dok mujezin s minaretauci glasom svim:"Allah illallah, selam alejkjum"!

"Dok ste vjerno sluge moje služili moj harem,neka od vas svako uzme sedam žena barem".iz oka mu suza kanu,pa na minder mrtav pa´nu,stari musliman."Allah illallah, selam alejkjum"!

Kad je čula pašinica za tu tužnu vijest,da se paša preselio na ahiret svijet.iz oka joj suza kanu,pokraj paše mrtva pa´nu,ljubav pašina."Allah illallah, selam alejkjum"!

In Istanbul at the Bosphorus

in istanbul at the bosphorus,the pasha lies sick.his soul is on the decline,and yearns for the black earth.

prayer for him is holy,when from the minaret, the muezzincalls out:allah ilallah, salaam aleikum.

since, my servants, you havefaithfully served my harem,let each one of you takeat least seven wives.

a tear dropped from his eyeand he fell dead on the divan,the old muslim…allah ilallah, salaam aleikum.

when the pasha’s wifeheard about this sad news,that the pasha had movedonto the afterlife,

a tear dropped from her eyeand she fell dead on the divan,the pasha’s beloved…
