Kraj potoka
(By the Brook)

Traditional song from Bosnia and Hercegovina

By the brook,
Kraj potoka
With its clear waters,
Bistre vode
Where the forest is green,
Šuma zelena
Unhappy and worried
Nevesela, zabrinuta
A girl is sitting.
Sjedi djevojka.

The brook is flowing and flowing away,
Potok teče i protiče,
Quietly gurgling
Tiho žubori
And the girl, in tears,
A djevojka, uplakana,
In a a tearful voice speaks :
Kroz plač govori :

Come back to me, young hero,
Vrati mi se, mlad junače,
My dear sweet young hero,
Dragi, mlađani,
So I can die on your chest,
Da na tvojim grud'ma umrem
Your fiery chest.
Grud'ma vatrenim.
