The music world has been in shock after the news that suddenly, with 46 years, Dolores O’Riordan, the singer of the Irish band “The Cranberries”, passed away.
Sarajevo is the city which is written about, and it will stay like that. This is the city which got the song from the regional and world musicians, and one of them is song “Bosnia” written and sung by Dolores O’Riordan , the singer of the Irish group “The Cranberries”.
The song was part of their album from 1996 – “To the Faithful Departed”.
This song was her way of expressing her pain she had felt watching from far away what was happening to us in the blocked city.
I would like to state my vision
Life was so unfair
We live in our secure surroundings
And people die out there
Bosnia was so unkind
Sarajevo changed my mind
And we all call out in despair
All the love we need isn’t there
And we all sing songs our rooms
Sarajevo erects an undertune
Sarajevo, sarajevo, sarajevo
Bosnia was so unkind
Sarajevo, sarajevo, sarajevo
Bosnia was so unkind
Sure thigns would change if we really wanted them to
No fear for children anymore
There are babies in their hands, terror in their heads
For life, for life
When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?
