Welcome Fatima, welcome my love,
welcome to your beloved.
Please, lay down your head and rest

right here, at my heart.

White tulips have fallen asleep,

and so did the carnations.
Fragrance of roses and hyacinths
have lulled entire town of Mostar to sleep.


Why don't you lay your beautiful head
right here at my chest.

So that I may cradle you, and sing to you
like to a sleepy lamb.


So that I may cuddle you, and enjoy the fragrance
of your thick hair.
So that I may kiss you, and hug you

until the next day dawns.




Bosnian Lyrics:


Đela Fato, Đela zlato
Đel-draganu svom
Đela legni i prilegni

na srda?cu mom.

Bijele lale pozaspale

i alkatmeri
miris đula i zumbula
cijo Mostarsk spi.


Metni glavu miri?avu
na njedarca tu

da te njiham, da ti pjevam
snenom jagnjetu.


Da milujem i miri?em
tvoju bujnu last,
da te ljubim, da te grlim

dok ne svane dan.
