Bill Madden
Bosko And Admira
Sweethearts since high school
He was a Serb She was a Muslim
It didn't matter to them
In 1992 Civil war tore Apart a nation Igniting ethnic hatred
In the spring of 93
They decided to Flee the violence
The monsters and tyrants
A cease fire was arranged
For safe passage
Through Sniper Alley
To Grbavica
Crossing Vrbanja bridge
Close to the end
Hope was so strong
Then it all went horribly wrong
Shots rang out, he fell face down
He was killed
Instantly, then she
Was hit and screamed
Songtexte
With all her strength and all her might
Mortally wounded she crawled
Over to him and Wrapped her arm around
In fifteen minutes at most, she
Cuddled him, then all was still
And the sun set upon
Romeo and Juliet
Bosko and Admira
We're killed on a bridge
By the bullets of sniper
On the banks of the river
Forbidden love and
Blood run together
Ah, ah...
Eight days their bodies lay
In no-man's land Unrecovered, in the
Arms of each other
Now buried side by side
'Neath a heart-shaped stone
Near the café, where they
Courted, laughed and cried
Bosko and Admira
We're killed on a bridge
By the bullets of sniper
On the banks of the river
Forbidden love and
Blood run together
Forbidden love and
Blood run together
Ah, I hear the children play
Ah, Sarajevo serenade Ah...
Bosko and Admira
Forbidden love and
Blood run together
Bosko and Admira
Forbidden love and
Blood run together...
