(Video) The Old Music You Hear Everywhere in Sarajevo

Sevdah is a form of Bosnian traditional folk music, strangely and surprisingly are played everywhere in Sarajevo. It looked so odd to me to see teenagers humming along Sevdah tunes.

Lyrics

C(udna jada od Mostara grada,
sve od lani pa evo do sada.
Kako Biba, C(elebic’a zlato,
bol boluje nikom ne kazuje.

“Kc’eri Bibo, ti rumena ružo,
kaži majci Å¡ta te boli, duÅ¡o!”
“Mene boli i srce i glava,
otkad Ahmo u haremu spava!”

“Kakav Ahmo, voda ga odn’jela,
zbog njega si mlada oboljela!”
“Mila majko, nemoj Ahme kleti,
rek’o mi je da c’e me uzeti!

Mila majko, selam c’eÅ¡ mi Ahmi,
nek’ mi Ahmo u petak ne dr’jema,
nek’ se Bibi na dženazu sprema!”
