Bosnian music : Song about Suada Dilberovic - Bosnian national heroine

Suada Dilberovic (1968-1992) was the first Bosniak civilian to be killed in the Serbian three-year siege of Sarajevo. She was a 23 year old medical student who peacefully demonstrated against the Serb-aggressor siege of Sarajevo, when she was shoot to death on the vrbanja bridge by a serbian army-sniper.

On the weekend of April 4th 1992, a mere five weeks after Bosnia-Hercegovina declared independence from Yugoslavia following a unanimous public referendum, Bosnian Serb military units began erecting barricades around Sarajevo, hoping to choke its residents off from the outside world. Upset by the actions of the Serb aggressors and the specter of war in their country, thousands of Sarajevans took to the streets on Sunday morning in a peace protest that started in the suburb of Dobrinja. As the crowd made its way to the Bosnian parliament building, they were joined by thousands more, all chanting the same message, "mizmo za mir" ("we are for peace").

The protest continued well into the night and into Monday morning, April the 6th, with over 100,000 people pleading for a peaceful resolution to the crisis. One group broke away from the main crowd and marched south down Vrbanja Street, with the hope of peacefully removing the barricades that had been erected on Vrbanja Bridge. However, on the other side of the Miljacka River, hidden amongst the trees, Serb gunmen were waiting. Intoxicated by the high emotions and comraderie of the occasion, the peace protesters blindly walked into the firing zone.

The first to fall was Suada Dilberovic, a twenty-three year old medical student. Her last words, before succumbing to her wounds, were "Oh please do not tell me this is happening to Sarajevo". Unfortunately, she was far from being the last victim. Over the next four years, over 10,000 more Sarajevans died and 50,000 were injured as the Bosnian Serb forces tightened their strangle hold on the city.




The video clip features a song about Suada and a photo of a memorial plate dedicated to Suada, on the Vrbanja bridge (now known as the bridge of Suada Dilberovic).

TRANSLATION:

On the vrbanja bridge, in the middle of Sarajevo, no one is to be found; a dzenaza is being prepared.

Oh people, beautiful Suada has died, her life she gave for the freedom of the town. (x2)

As long as the vrbanja exists and the miljacka flows Sarajevo will not forget about Suada

As long as the vrbanja exists and the miljacka flows the story about Suada will not die

Young and in a dying state, she told everyone:

never surrender Sarajevo to the sworn enemies

tell my mother to not cry now, a shaheed for the freedom of the town she has given. (x2)

As long as the vrbanja exists and the miljacka flows Sarajevo will not forget about Suada

As long as the vrbanja exists and the miljacka flows the story about Suada will not die

When father reached the grave of suada, kissing the dark earth, he stopped in tears: dark earth, recieve this tear of mine I beg you, may you grant Suada the peace of God upon her, tell her that I love her.

As long as the vrbanja exists and the miljacka flows Sarajevo will not forget about Suada

As long as the vrbanja exists and the miljacka flows the story about Suada will not die

THE END..
