Introduction To Sarajevo: Carlama Galerija

THE BIRDS OF SARAJEVO
It seems the birds of Sarajevo
are gone--where did they go?
Some only say they've flown away
or scratch their heads, and just cant say.
It seems the songs of Sarajevo
are stilled--where did they go?
Some only sigh, while others cry
that all the songs were just a lie.
It seems the youth of Sarajevo
has died--where did it go?
Some only say it's hides away
from all the pain of yesterday.
