Vino piju nane age Sarajlije

Vino piju nane age Sarajlije (English: Wine is Drunk, Mother, by the Sarajevan Aghas) is a Bosnian traditional sevdalinka. The song is associated with the Sarajevo region and is known for its humorous and romantic portrayal of social life among Sarajevo’s Ottoman-era elite. The lyrics follow a poetic and narrative structure, describing a gathering of local age (aghas or Ottoman lords) in Ilidža, near Sarajevo, where they are served wine by a witty and selective young woman. The final stanza humorously asserts the woman’s autonomy, declaring she will only be the lover of one: Pinjo, the flag-bearer (Bosnian: bajraktar).
