The title of this song in English would be ‘At Šemsudin’s grave’. This is not a traditional Sevdalinka, but one most likely written by Emina Zejnic.
Original Bosnian lyrics
Na mezaru Šemsudina,
jedine moje ljubavi,
skrivala sam, tugovala,
sjećala se davnih dana.
Nabraću ja buket ruža,
u mom đulistanu,
da mi ruža mirom miri,
kao nekad na kapiji.
Al’ će doći sudnji danak,
pa i ja ću umrijeti.
Naše će se duše sresti
u Džennetu mirisnome.
English translation
At the grave of Šemsudin,
my only true love,
I was hiding, I was mourning,
I remembered those lovely days.
I will pick a rose bouquet
from my rose garden
so may the rose smell fragrantly
like once at our gate.
But the Judgement Day will come
and I will also die.
And our souls will meet
in the fragrant Paradise.
