Illustration of sevdalinka "If I was a bird" (Da sam ptica)

Illustration - print of famous Bosnian traditional urban song sevdalinka: "If I was a bird" by an artist Dalila Manso. 

I would soar across Bosnia’s springs.
I would fly and never rest,
Until I’ve seen Bosnia at its best.

Above Bosnia, mountains rise high,
Adorned with green under the sky.
Blossom, Bosnia, with fragrant bloom,
From you, my heart drinks its perfume.
Blossom, Bosnia, with fragrant bloom,
From you, my heart drinks its perfume.

You are always as you’ve been,
All so green, joyful, and serene.
May your song always bring you pride,
Healthy Bosnia, may you always thrive.

In Bosnian: 

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 okitile
Cvjetaj Bosno, u mirisu rudi
Iz teb' i ja da napajam grudi
Cvjetaj Bosno, u mirisu rudi
Iz teb' 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
