Lyrics

Lyrics in Bosnian	English
Zajedno smo rasli Grade, ja i ti Isto plavo nebo Poklonio nam stih Ispod Trebevića sanjali smo sne Ko će brže rasti Ko će ljepši biti Ti si bio velik A rodio se ja S Igmana uz osmijeh Slao si mi san Dječak koji raste zavolio te tad Ostao je ovdje vezan za svoj grad Bilo gdje da krenem O tebi sanjam Putevi me svi tebi vode Čekam s nekom čežnjom Na svjetla tvoja Sarajevo, ljubavi moja Pjesme svoje imaš I ja ih pjevam Želim da ti kažem šta sanjam Radosti su moje i sreća tvoja Sarajevo, ljubavi moja Kada prođu zime I dođe lijepi maj Djevojke su ljepše Ljubav im daj Šetališe tamno Uzdasima zri Neke oči plave Neke riječi nježne Sad je dječak čovjek A zima pokri brijeg Park i kosa bijeli Al' otiće snijeg Proljeće i mladost Ispunit' će tad Sarajevo moje Jedini moj grad	We have grown together My city, you and me The same blue sky Gifted us a verse Under Mt. Trebević we've dreamt dreams Who will grow faster Who will be more beautiful You were large When I was born From Mt. Igman with a smile You sent me dreams A boy growing fell in love with you He remained here Tied to his city Wherever I may go I dream of you All the roads lead to you I'm waiting with the feeling of yearning For your lights Sarajevo, my love You have your songs And I sing them I want to tell you my dreams The joy is mine and happiness is yours Sarajevo, my love When the winter passes And beautiful May arrives The girls are more beautiful Give them love The dark promenade Matures with sighs Some blue eyes Some soft words Now the boy is a man The winter covers the mountains The park and hair are white But the snow will fade Spring and youth Will fill up My Sarajevo My only city
