Da sam ptica i da imam krila
Ja bih cijelu Bosnu preletila
Letila bih, nikad ne bih stala
Dok se Bosne ne bih nagledala
Nad Bosnom se planine izvile
Zelenilom svu je priglile
Cvjetaj Bosno, u mirisu rudi
Iz njeg’ i ja da napajam grudi
Uvijek si mi kao što si bila
Sva zelena, vesela i mila
Tvoja pjesma nek’ te uvijek krasi
Zdravo Bosno, uvijek zdravo da si
English Translation
If I Were a Bird
If I were a bird and had wings
I would fly across the entire Bosnia,
I would fly, I would never stop
Until Bosnia would not see enough
The mountains shear over Bosnia,
Decorated everywhere with green,
Bloom Bosnia to the smell of sunrise
From you and me to fill my chest.
You’re just like how you used to be,
All green, cheerful and dear,
May your song always adorn you,
Hello Bosnia, always be healthy.
