Also if someone can please translate this to english for me!
(im sure someone already did but the search keeps saying there is nothing!)

ESAD PLAVI SEHEREZADA LYRICS
Iz Harema jednog dana
pobjegla je od Sultana
niz carsiju bez nanula
Seherezada lijepa bula

Ref. 2x
Seherezada, Seherezada
ti si uzrok mojih jada
moras jednom to da shvatis
dajem carstvo da se vratis

Sultan salje svoje sluge
da je nadju al' nje nema
zbog ljepote tog andjela
ostavio mnogo zena

Ref. 2x

Jednog dana ona dodje
pred Sultanom gordo stade
volim drugog ubi' te me
oprostaj joj Sultan dade



THANK YOU!!!!

HALID BEšLIC MILJACKA LYRICS
Ja sve ove dane cekam da mi svane
da vidim tvoj dragi lik
ja sve ove dane tjesim jarane
a bolan vise sam od njih

Jednom si rekla, nisi porekla
da sam za tebe jedini
mene si zvala, a srce dala
drugome da ga isprosi

Ref. 2x
Ko bi rek'o cuda da se dese
plava Miljacka mostove odnese
da ne mogu tebi doc'
da ne mogu ulicom ti proc'

Ja sve ove noci cekam kad ces doci
doci u zivot moj
ja sve ove noci zivim u samoci
jer mogu biti samo tvoj

Jednom si rekla, nisi porekla
da sam za tebe jedini
mene si zvala, a srce dala
drugome da ga isprosi

Ref. 2x

Da ne mogu tebi doc'
da ne mogu ulicom ti proc'

Sheherazade

One day, from a Harem
escaped from Sultan
down the bazaar without sandals*
Sheherazade, a beautiful Turkish woman

Chorus 2x
Sheherazade, Sheherazade
you're the cause of my despair
one day you must realize that
I'm offering empire for your return

Sultan sends his men
to find her, but she is gone
for the beauty of the angel
he left many women

Chorus 2x
One day she came
stood proudly in front of the Sultan
I love someone else, you may kill me
Sultan gave her absolution

PS
about your question.. I don't think I can help you because (although, like you put it, I maybe shouldn't) I mostly listen to ex-yu, Croatian and Bosnian music and honestly can't think of anyone from the new Serbian music scene worth a mention

MILJACKA *

All these days, I'm waiting for my dawn**
to see your sweet face
all these days I'm comforting friends
and I'm hurting more than them

Once you said, you didn't deny
that I'm the only one for you
I was the one you called, but you let
another one win your heart

Chorus. 2x
Who would've thought that wonders would happen
that blue Miljacka would take away the bridges
so that I can't come to you
so that I can't walk down your street

All these nights I'm waiting for you to come
come into my life
all these nights I'm living in loneliness
because I can be only yours

Once you said, you didn't deny
that I'm the only one for you
I was the one you called, but you let
another one win your heart

Chorus 2x

That I can't come to you
that I can't walk down your street

*Miljacka
**for the things to get better for me

Thanks so much for your help Spring!!

I alredy like your taste in music :P .. maybe you can suggest me some of the songs & artists you listen from Bosnia/Croatia.
Lol.. i think one of the only singers i know of from Croatia is Severina and Magazin from when i was a little girl!!

[Spring]

ah don't forget Oliver Dragojevic, Gibonni, Prljavo kazaliste, Novi fosili (my fav song that reminds me of my childhood - E moj Sasa)
Boris Novkovic, Crvena jabuka, Parni valjak, Divlje jagode...

And.. lets not be totally unfair.. e.g. Goca Trzan also has some nice songs

Korak do dna

I ruz na tvojoj kosulji
I miris njen na jastuku
I slova tvoga imena
Na njenim gresnim usnama

Mogu da ne vidim,
mogu da ne cujem
Mogu da oprostim
ne i da zaboravim

Mogu da ne pitam
i luda se napravim
Mogu da oprostim
ne i da zaboravim

R:
Tu gde si doveo me
samo na korak je dno
Jos jednom pogledaj me
ja ne zasluzujem to

Samo je korak do dna,
taj korak napravi sam
A ja cu dalje
kako umem i kako znam

A Step Till The Bottom

And lipstick on your shirt
and her perfume on the pillow
and the letters of your name
on her vile lips

I am able not to see
I am able not to hear
I can forgive
but not forget

I am able not to ask
and act stupid
I can forgive
but not forget

Here where you've brought me
there's only a step till the bottom
Look at me once more
I do not deserve that

There's only a step till the bottom
make that step on your own
And I will go on
the best that I can and know

[haria]

Thanks for the names.. I cannot believe I forgot some of them!!... now im gonna go through all my stuff to find old albums.. then.. google!!

Miroslav Skoro - Ne dirajte mi ravnicu
Veceras me dobri ljudi
nemojte nista pitati
neka suze tiho teku
pa ce manje boljeti.

Jos u sebi cujem majku
kako tuzna govori
kad se jednom vratis sine
ja cu te cekati.

Mene zovu moja polja
mene zovu tambure
prije nego sklopim oci
da jos jednom vidim sve.

Ref.

Ne dirajte mi veceras
uspomenu u meni,
ne dirajte mi ravnicu
jer ja cu se vratiti.



Wow.. this song brings back some memories from when I was living in croatia as a kid..

[Spring]

Don't Touch My Plain

Tonight, my good people,
don't ask me anything
let the tears flow quietly
that way it will hurt less

Deep down, I still hear my mother
telling me sadly
when you come back one day son
I will be waiting for you.

My fields are calling me
my tamburas are calling me
before I close my eyes
to see it all once more

Chorus
Don't touch tonight
the memory inside me,
don't touch my plain
because I will be back.

[haria]

Thank you!!
