Mirisni cvet,
Totalno nerazumljiv za ceo svet.
I svako može biti
Dušman i brat
Svakih pedeset leta izbija rat.- This here is the Balkans
A scented flower
Completely incomprehensible for the whole world
And anyone can be
Enemy and brother
Every fifty years erupts the war
- This here is the Balkans
- entire, complete
