ALL ON HER OWN - ANTHEM FOR B&H

Bosnia & Herzegovina!
A land prodigy of prodigies

It has sea and distances
The dark forests and the depths

Her mountains ride a sky
And her meadows with grain dawn 

Her rockery with sun sizzles
And the snows with secrets melt

She has rivers to speak out
And the lakes to keep silence
 
Winds to be singing hymns
She has places of worshiping 

More hands than anybody
Has this country - a miracle
But only one heart

A step of Her is steep and flat
Stable, soft or impetuous
She falls down and rises again
Hurts herself then cures herself

Pines away this country sometimes
From the pains, incurable 
But miracle of miracles
gives birth to herself all anew

Bosnia and Herzegovina!
