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
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
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
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
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
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
