Original lyrics in Bosnian/English with English translation below.
[Verse 1] In the heart of the Balkans, a fire burns bright Through centuries of darkness, through war and the night Sarajevo stands tall, her wounds turned to scars Her people look up at the same broken stars [Pre-Chorus] Vječna vatra gori Za one koji su pali Vječna vatra gori Da ih nikad ne zaboravimo [Chorus] Eternal fire of Sarajevo Burns through the coldest night Eternal fire of Sarajevo A beacon, a guiding light Eternal fire, eternal fire You cannot be extinguished Eternal fire, eternal fire Your spirit is distinguished [Verse 2] From the ashes of war, a new city rose From the rubble and ruin, a new story grows The bridges rebuilt, the mosques standing tall Sarajevo remembers, Sarajevo recalls [Chorus] Eternal fire of Sarajevo Burns through the coldest night Eternal fire of Sarajevo A beacon, a guiding light [Outro] Sarajevo... Vječna vatra... Eternal fire... Burns forever
[Pre-Chorus Translation] The eternal flame burns For those who fell The eternal flame burns So we never forget them
