It was first published in 1902 in the Serbian literary journal Kolo.[1] The subject of the poem is \u0160anti\u0107’s neighbor, a Bosnian Muslim[2] girl named Emina Sefi\u0107. It is one of the most well-known sevdalinka songs of all time.Main character[edit]Emina Sefi\u0107 (later Koluder; 1884\u20131967)[3] was born to a Bosnian Muslim family in the city of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Her father was a prominent imam and the family lived near Stari Most; they were next door neighbors to poet Aleksa \u0160anti\u0107’s sister. Her great-granddaughter Alma Ferovi\u0107 is a soprano and has performed with Elton John and A.R. Rahman.[4]On 27 May 2010 a bronze statue of Emina was unveiled in Mostar. It was unveiled on \u0160anti\u0107’s 142nd birthday, although it’s not publicly known if that was intentionally done or coincidental.[5] The Emina statue was sculpted by Zlatko Dizdarevi\u0107 over the period of three months and was not based on photographs of her, rather the artistic vision of a Bosnian beauty. The statue was sculpted with clothing that women wore in Bosnia and Herzegovina at the turn of the century.  The original, longer version of Emina, published in the Serbian journal Kolo in 1902Serbo-CroatianEnglish translation[6]Sino\u0107 kad se vra\u0107ah iz topla hamama,pro\u0111oh pokraj ba\u0161\u010de staroga imama.Kad tamo u ba\u0161\u010di, u hladu jasminas ibrikom u ruci staja\u0161e Emina.Ja kakva je pusta! Tako mi imana,stid je ne bi bilo da je kod sultana.Pa jo\u0161 kada \u0161e\u0107e i ple\u0107ima kre\u0107e,ni hod\u017ein mi zapis vi\u0161e pomo\u0107’ ne\u0107e!Ja joj nazvah selam. Al’ moga mi dina,ne \u0161\u0107e ni da \u010duje lijepa Emina,ve\u0107 u srebrn ibrik zahvatila vode,pa niz ba\u0161\u010du \u0111ule zaljevati ode.S grana vjetar puhnu, pa niz ple\u0107i pusterasplete joj njene pletenice guste.Zamirisa kosa, k’o zumbuli plavi,a meni se krenu bururet u glavi!Malo ne posrnuh, mojega mi dina,al’ meni ne do\u0111e lijepa Emina.Samo me je jednom pogledala mrko,niti haje, al\u010dak, \u0161to za njome crko’!Last night, returning from the warm hamamI passed by the garden of the old ImamAnd lo, in the garden, in the shade of a jasmine,There with a pitcher in her hand stood Emina.What beauty! By iman I could swear,She would not be ashamed if she were at the sultan\u2019s!And the way she walks and her shoulders move…— Not even an Imam\u2019s amulet could help me!I offered her salaam, but by my d\u012bn,Beautiful Emina would not even hear it.Instead, scooping water in her silver pitcher,Around the garden she went to water the roses.A wind blew from the branches down her lovely shouldersUnraveling those thick braids of hers.Her hair gave off a scent of blue hyacinths,Making me giddy and confused!I nearly stumbled, I swear by my faith,But beautiful Emina did not come to me.She only gave me a frowning look,Not caring, the naughty one, that I am crazy for her!Many artists have covered the song, but the version by fellow Mostar native, Bosnian singer Himzo Polovina, remains the most popular.[7] Upon hearing of the death of Emina Sefi\u0107, Polovina went to poetess Sevda Katica’s home in the Mostar neighbourhood Donja Mahala. He found her in the yard of the family home, informed her of Emina’s death and she shuddered with grief and spoke the verses:New versesTranslationUmro stari pjesnik, umrla Eminaostala je pusta ba\u0161\u0107a od jasminasalomljen je ibrikuvelo je cvije\u0107epjesma o Emini, nikad umrijet ne\u0107e.The old poet has died, Emina has diedThe empty garden of jasmine was left behindThe pitcher is brokenThe flowers have witheredThe song about Emina, will never die.Himzo Polovina recorded the song and added Sevda’s new verses.Some have suggested adopting the words from “Emina” as the lyrics for the wordless Bosnian national anthem, due to its connection to Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs (the three main Bosnian ethnic groups) alike.[8]See also[edit]References[edit]  "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/emina-poem-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Emina (poem) – Wikipedia"}}]}]
