Bosnian Folk "Emina" lyrics

Translation to:enru

Emina

.Sinoć kad se vraćah iz topla hamama,prođoh pokraj bašče staroga imama.Kad tamo u bašči, u hladu jasminas ibrikom u ruci stajaše Emina.

Ja kakva je pusta! Tako mi imana,stid je ne bi bilo da je kod sultana.Pa još kada šeće i plećima kreće,ni hodžin mi zapis više pomoć' neće!

Ja joj nazvah selam. Al' moga mi dina,ne šće ni da čuje lijepa Emina,već u srebrn ibrik zahvatila vode,pa niz bašču đule zaljevati ode.

S grana vjetar puhnu, pa niz pleći pusterasplete joj njene pletenice guste.Zamirisa kosa, k'o zumbuli plavi,a meni se krenu bururet u glavi!

Malo ne posrnuh, mojega mi dina,al' meni ne dođe lijepa Emina.Samo me je jednom pogledala mrko,niti haje, alčak, što za njome crko'!

Umro stari pjesnik,umrla EminaOstala je pusta bašča od jasmina.Salomljen je ibrik,uvelo je cvijećePjesma o Emini nikad umrijet neće.

Emina

Last night when I came back from the warm hammam*I passed by the old imam's* garden.And there in the garden, in the shadow of a jasminEmina stood with an ewer in her hand.

Oh, ain't she stunning! Swear on my imam,She wouldn't be ashamed if she were at the sultan.And when she strolls about and moves her shoulders,A script* form a hojja won't help me no more?

I called a selam? upon her. But I swear on my ghost,Beautiful Emina won't even hear about it,But she pulled out water into the silver ewer,And she went down the garden to water guelder roses.

Wind blew from the branches, and down the stunning backIt untwined her thick braids.The hair started smelling, like blue hyacinths,And to me a storm started inside my head.

I almost fell down, swear on my ghost,But the beatiful Emina didn't approach me.She only looked at me once harshly,Neither does she care, sordid, for that I had drop dead* for her!

The odl poet died, Emina diedThe jasmin garden stayed empty.The ewer got broken, the flowers witheredThe song about Emina never will die.
