"Miss Sarajevo"

Is there a time for keeping your distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day

Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for curling hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear

Here she comes
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown

Is there a time to run for cover
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colours
Different names you find it hard to spell

Is there a time for first communion
A time for East Seventeen
Is there a time to turn to Mecca
Is there time to be a beauty queen

Here she comes
Beauty plays the clown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown

Dici che il fiume
Trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
Giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
E le terre assetate
Dici che come il fiume
Come il fiume...
L'amore giungerà
L'amore...
E non so più pregare
E nell'amore non so più sperare
E quell'amore non so più aspettare

[Translation of the Italian lyrics above]
You say that the river
finds the way to the sea
and like the river
you will come to me
beyond the borders
and the dry lands
You say that like a river
like a river...
the love will come
the love...
And i don't know how to pray anymore
and in love i don't know how to hope anymore
and for that love i don't know how to wait anymore

[End of translation]

Is there a time for tying ribbons
A time for Christmas trees
Is there a time for laying tables
And the night is set to freeze

O lijepa, o draga, o slatka slobodo,
[dar u kom sva blaga višnji nam bog je do...]

Is there a time for keeping a distance?

A time to turn your eyes away?

Is there a time for keeping your head down?

For getting on with your day?

Is there a time for kohl and lipstick?

A time for cutting hair?

Is there a time for high street shopping?

To find the right dress to wear?

Here she comes

Heads turn around

Here she comes

To take her crown

Is there a time to walk for cover?

A time for kiss and tell?

Is there a time for different colors?

Different names you find it hard to spell?

Is there a time for first communion?

A time for east 17?

Is there a time to turn to mecca?

Is there a time to be a beauty queen?

Here she comes

Beauty plays the crown

Here she comes

Surreal in her crown

Dici che il fiume
(You say that the river)

Trova la via al mare
(Finds the way to the sea)

E come il fiume
(And as the river)

Giungerai a me
(You'll come to me)

Oltre i confini
(Beyond the borders)

E le terre assetate
(And the thirsty lands)

Dici che come fiume
(You say that as river)

Come fiume
(As river)

L'amore giunger
(Love will come)

L'amore
(Love)

E non so più pregare
(And I cannot pray anymore)

E nell'amore non so pi sperare
(And I cannot hope in love anymore)

E quell'amore non so pi aspettare
(And I cannot wait for love anymore)

Is there a time for tying ribbons?

A time for Christmas trees?

Is there a time for laying tables?

When the night is set to freeze?
