DINO:
Dabogda kćeri da
dragi Allah jednom da
da tobe dođem
dunjaluka prođem

Idu dani svud
širok gaze drum
a i noći još brže
sve k’o dlan o dlan
pa se upitam
kako noge izdrže

Refren:
Lijevo – desno, desno – lijevo
malo mi Sarajevo

HARI:
Dabogda kćeri da
dragi Allah sreću da
al’ su blizu vrata taksirata

Kuca tika tak
hladna kao pak
vekerica srca moga
šta mi vrijedi sad rubin i smaragd
šta mi vrijedi prolazna ljepota

Refren:
Lijevo – desno, desno – lijevo
tijesno mi Sarajevo

Duet:
Dabogda kćeri da
dragi Allah dženet da
al’ malo je vruće
oko ove kuće

Kakav sam ja griješnik
u kući grijeha vijećnik
s kakvim se haramima družio…
Bože daj mi ti
svoje milosti
a ne onako kako sam zaslužio

REF:
Lijevo – desno, desno – lijevo
ubiće nas Sarajevo

English Translation

God Help Us

DINO:
God help us, daughter, that
dear Allah once allows
me to come to my senses
me to see the world

Days are passing everywhere
trampling across the wide road
and nights even faster
everything like when you clap your hands
so I wonder
how can legs take it

Chorus:
Left, right, right left
Sarajevo is too small for me

HARI:
God help us, daughter, that
dear Allah gives us happiness
but the door of misfortune is close

Ticking tick tack
cold like puck
the alarm clock of my heart
what are ruby and emerald now worth to me
what’s in the passing beauty for me

Chorus:
Left, right, right left
Sarajevo is too tight for me

Duet:
God help us, daughter, that
dear Allah gives heaven
but it’s a bit hot
around this house

What kind of a sinner am I
councilor in the house of sins
the sorts of sins I’ve mingled with…
God have
mercy
but not the kind that I deserved

Chorus:
Left, right, right left
Sarajevo will kill us
