it doesn't matter how many times we took a breath
more important is how many times we were breathless (lost breath)

Da te nije alija - Dino Merlin

tamo gdje je sunce, tamo gdje su zvijezde
tamo gdje je nebo bez oblaka
gdje se ciste duse gnijezde
gdje se oci odmicu od mraka

na tu stranu ja okrecem glavu
u te dvore glas sve zove
sklapam oci, pruzam ruke
pustim snove da zaplove

sklapam oci, pruzam ruke
pustim snove da zaplove

ne bi sjala ovako jako
ova moja lijepa avlija
ja bi svjetlo zvao mrakom
da te nije alija

slutio sam rijeci, slutio sam pjesme
mislio sam grijeh je, da se ne smije
mislio sam nema ko da slusa
ima kako nema, slusa moja dusa

mislio sam nema ko da slusa
ima kako nema, cuje moja dusa

ne bi sjala ovako jako
ova moja lijepa avlija
ja bi svjetlo zvao mrakom
da te nije alija

Thanks if anyone can translate into english. Puno hvala.

If There Wasn't For You Alija

Where the sun is, where the stars are
where the sky is without clouds
where pure souls nest
where eyes step back from the dark

on that side I turn my head
to that castle the voice calls everyone
I close my eyes, I reach out
let my dreams flow

I close my eyes, I reach out
let my dreams flow

It wouldn't shine this bright
this beautiful yard of mine
the light would be dark
if there wasn't for you alija

I feared the words, I feared the songs
I thought it was a sin, that it was forbidden
I thought there's nobody who'd listen
there is of course there is, your soul is listening

I thought there's nobody who'd listen
there is of course there is, your soul is listening

It wouldn't shine this bright
this beautiful yard of mine
the light would be dark
if there wasn't for you alija

Spring, thank you so much. for Da ti nije Alija translation. I am really very grateful.

You're welcome!

Nek padaju cuskije - Dino Merlin

da mi je samo bar na tren
da svratim malo nocas u tvoj san
da mi je samo malo do tebe
makar grmilo i sijevalo

da mi je pola jastuka
malo kise ispod starog oluka
da mi je samo da me pokrije
ona bogda tvoje spavacice

ma nek', neka padaje cuskije
neka me sevdah opije
dzaba srce bez tebe ne umije

da mi je pola jastuka
malo kise ispod starog oluka
da mi je samo da me pokrije
ona bogda tvoje spavacice

ma nek', neka padaje cuskije
neka me sevdah opije
dzaba srce bez tebe ne umije

Thanks if anyone can translate into english. Very grateful i am to you all.

Dino Merlin - Nek padaju cuskije ~ Let the crowbars fall

da mi je samo bar na tren
If I just have an instant
da svratim malo nocas u tvoj san
To drop by in your dream tonight
da mi je samo malo do tebe
That I'm just next to you for a bit
makar grmilo i sijevalo
Even if it thundered or lightened

da mi je pola jastuka
If I just have half a pillow
malo kise ispod starog oluka
A little bit of rain underneath an old gutter
da mi je samo da me pokrije
If just a little bit could cover me
ona bogda tvoje spavacice
That ** of your night-gown

ma nek', neka padaje cuskije
Well let, let the crowbars fall
neka me sevdah opije
Let the lovesickness intoxicate me
dzaba srce bez tebe ne umije
It's worthless, cause the heart can't be without you

da mi je pola jastuka
If I just have half a pillow
malo kise ispod starog oluka
A little bit of rain underneath an old gutter
da mi je samo da me pokrije
If just a little bit could cover me
ona bogda tvoje spavacice
That ** of your night-gown

ma nek', neka padaje cuskije
Well let, let the crowbars fall
neka me sevdah opije
Let the lovesickness intoxicate me
dzaba srce bez tebe ne umije
It's worthless, cause the heart can't be without you


** Does anyone know the meaning to 'bogda'?

I think it means ''little piece'' or just ''piece''

I think it should be something like that too, but I'm just not 100% sure...

the line :''znam da dusa sama bira ti
al ne mogu''

must be:

''znam da dusa sama bira tim
al ne mogu''

perfect translations from both of you
greetz

Thanks DR! I changed the line in my translation

Dabogda, kceri, da dragi Allah jednom da
Da tobe dodjem, dunjaluka prodjem
(2x)

Idu dani zum
Sirokac im drum
A i noci jos brze
Sve k'o dlan o dlan
Pa se upitam kako noge izdrze

Lijevo-desno, desno-lijevo
Malo mi Sarajevo
(2x)

Dabogda, kceri, da dragi Allah srecu da
Al' su blizu vrata taksirata
(2x)

Kuca tika-tak hladna kao pak
Vekerica srca moga
Sta mi vrijedi sad rubin i smaragd
Sta mi vrijedi prolazna ljepota

Lijevo-desno, desno-lijevo
Tijesno mi Sarajevo
(2x)

Dabogda, kceri, da dragi Allah dzennet da
Al' malo je vruce oko ove kuce
(2x)

Kakav sam ja grjesnik
U kuci grijeha vijecnik
S kakvim se haramima druzio
Boze, daj me ti od svoje milosti
A ne onako kako sam zasluzio

Lijevo-desno, desno-lijevo
Ubit ce nas Sarajevo
(2x)

mihic3, that one has already been translated, here:

Dabogda ~ God Help That

English:

They say, people chose their own way through life, and for years I thought the same…
Every story has to be told twice, and I am telling you now, whom else
It’s not important how many times we have breathed in, hey it’s more important how many times we were breathless.
People say that we all build our own happiness, and I thought the same about our destiny.
I am not sure at what side all these lies start, but this one is left alone.
People I have nothing to do with that this just a story, love is only a name that people misaleniously named it.

Ne Zovi Me Na Grijeh

kako si nocas lijepa zulejha
u tom svilenom bijelon kaftanu
ogrnula nas noc od grijeha
dira u staru bolnu ranu

a ne zna da nisam onaj stari
sto je srecu htio u vinu
ne zna da nisam ludi pjesnik
od svih bolesti haman bolesnik

evo ti sve i suze i smijeh
samo me ne zovi na grijeh
evo ti sve za cim ja mrijem
samo me ne zovi na grijeh

nocas sam jusuf iz misira
vjecni mornar bozije ruke
nocas sam samac sred svemira
to je tako a ti rezi ruke

evo ti sve i suze i smijeh
samo me ne zovi na grijeh
evo ti sve za cim ja mrijem
samo me ne zovi na grijeh

sorry swanheart, I didn't translate this one before because I think it can be done better ... but anyways...

Don't Make Me Sin

You are so beautiful tonight Zulejha
in that silky white caftan
sinful night has covered us
touching an old painful wound

but it doesn't know that I'm not who I used to be
the one that searched for happiness in wine
it doesn't know I'm not a crazy poet
sick with all diseases

here, take all the tears and laughter
just don't make me sin (just don't invite me to sin)
here, take everything that I'd die for
just don't make me sin

tonight I'm Jusuf from Misir
eternal God's hand's sailor
tonight I'm a loner in the middle of universe
it's like that and you can cut your hands

here, take all the tears and laughter
just don't make me sin
here, take everything that I'd die for
just don't make me sin
