Message from a country
Provokingly somebody asks
Who, what, where is, excuse me
How is that Bosnia
Tell me
And promptly comes the answer
There was, forgive me, a land
Bosnia
Poor and arid
Cold and chilly
And moreover
Forgive me
Proud
And full of dreams.
BLUE RIVER
No one knows where it is
we know little but it is known
behind the mountain behind the valley
behind the seven behind the eight
and even more wretched and even more weird
over tortuous over bitter
over berry over dogrose
over heat over freeze
beyond foreboding beyond doubt
behind the nine behind the ten
and even deeper and even stronger
beyond silence beyond darkness
where roosters do not sing
where horns are not heard
and even more wretched and even more weird
beyond reason beyond God
there is a blue river
wide it is deep it is
a hundred years wide
a thousand summers deep it is
about its length don't even think
yetsam and flotsam unmending
there is a blue river
there is a blue river -
we had better cross the river
both of these songs were written ny Mehmedalija Mak Dizdar. Hope you like them:o
