Lyrics

Lyrics in Bosnian	English translation
Il' je vedro, il' oblačno, Il' je hladna noć, Il' je sunce, il' je mjesec, Il' je b'jeli dan? Nit' je vedro, nit' oblačno, Nit' je tamna noć, Nit' je sunce, nit' je mjesec, Nit' je b'jeli dan, Već je ono Sokolović, Mlad Ibrahim-beg. Zanio se, unio se, U svoj golem nam, Sto on ljubi sultaniju, Sultan Zulejhu! "Reci Zulko, reci dušo, sta sam tebi ja?" "Ti si, Ibro, alem sunce, sto nad nama sja!"	It's either clear, or clouded Or is it a cold night It's either the sun, or the moon Or is it a white day? It's neither clear, nor clouded Nor is it a dark night It's neither the sun, nor the moon Nor a white day, Instead it's Sokolović, Young Ibrahim bey. Got carried away, carried into, His immense intent, That he loves sultana, Sultana Zuleyha! "Tell me Zulka, tell me my love, what am I to you?" "You are, Ibro, the jewel Sun, that glows upon us!"
