Put Rosemary in Your Hair and a Flower by the Old Fountain
I can smell the wind down the meadow
And pain follows me like a shadow
Are you still somewhere longing for me?
Where are you hidden from me?
Put rosemary in your hair
And a flower by the old fountain
Layla, how could you love another?
Dove, my dove
Carry the tears to her instead of the song
If tomorrow they ask for your hand
You should know I wont be there
Sorrows are easily forgiven
but only love never is
How could you love another?
I'm leaving as if I was guilty
of loving the one I'm not allowed
Of loving you
Layla
[english translation by liientjexxx]
The Bosnian song Lejla (2006) is by Hari Mata Hari
