Djamila
Bosnjakinja
This is a poem written by Sanita Isovic in 1993. At that time, she was a 13-year-old Bosniak refugee living in Germany.
It's beautiful and simple - I have a framed version in my living room.
Sve od Broda do Mostara - Everywhere, from Brod to Mostar
Pobijena nasa raja - Our people are vanquished
Pobijena il prognana - Vanquished or exiled
I po svijetu razaslana - And scattered around the world
Do juce smo skupa bili - Until yesterday we lived together
Zlo i dobro, sve, dijelili - Sharing all, both the good and the bad
A sada nas protjerase - Now they banish us
Iz te Bosne, zemlje nase - From Bosnia, from our own land
