Official video: "Dva se draga" (from the "Sevdah" documentary)

"Dva se draga", from the internationally awarded documentary "Sevdah" by Marina Andree Skop dedicated to the spirit of Damir's work on sevdah, friendship and longing. Traditional lyrics set to music by Damir. Here are both Bosnian and English versions:
Bosnian:
Dva se draga vrlo milovala
Na jednoj se vodi umivala
O jedan se peškir otirala
Jedno ljeto niko ih ne znade
Drugo ljeto svako ih saznade
Saznade ih i otac i majka
Majka ne dâ da se se ljube dragi
Pa rastavi i milo i drago
Dragi dragoj po zvijezdi poruči
"Umri draga dockan u subotu
Ja ću, junak, rano u nedelju!"
Što rekoše, to i učiniše
Draga umrije dockan u subotu
Dragi umrije rano u nedelju
Ukopaše jedno kraj drugoga
Kroz zemlju im ruke sastaviše
A u ruke zelene jabuke
Malo vrijeme za tim postajalo
Više dragog zelen bor nikao
A viš' drage rumena ružica
Pa se vije ruža oko bora
Kao svila oko kite smilja
Kao svila oko kite smilja
English:
Once two lovers loved each other dearly
They would wash themselves at the same water
And they dried themselves on the same towel.
For a year they kept their love a secret,
But in the second year everyone found out
And both the father and the mother found out.
Mother would not let them love each other
And she parted those who were dear to each other.
The young lad sent a message by a star:
"Oh, my dearest, die late on Saturday
And I myself, a hero, will do the same early on Sunday!"
And they did what they said they would do
The girl died late on Saturday
The lad early on Saturday
They buried them one beside the other
And they joined their hands together in the ground
And they put in their hands green apples
And when a little time has passed away,
Above the lad's grave a green pine tree grew
And above the girl's grave grew a red rose
And the rose entwined about the pine
Like silk around a bunch of evergreen.
Lyrics: unknown
(translation mostly based on E. D. Goy,
"A green pine...", 1990)
Music: Damir Imamović
