Tekst na spomeniku:
Shahids, fallen fighters and civilian victims
of the defensive-liberation war
in BiH 1992-1995 from the
Municipality of Zavidovići
(names of those killed with the following information: father‘s name, year of birth, year of death and place of birth)
Do you know that in Bosnia
the tears of those who cry take the shape
of the faces of those that are being mourned
Do you know that at night in Bosnia
rivers flow directly into the heavens
Do you know that in Bosnia everyone
has the right to live only once
and to die a thousand times
Do you know that in the sky over
Bosnia there are more stars
then there are stars in the sky
The boundary for Bosnia is not the sky
centuries in the bones views over glades
all is gentle mothering
Do not dream and do not wait for justice
be like Bosnia. Fight for justice
Like a piece torn from the sky, my homeland.
From this glowing basket
from these my eyes you shall never go.
Bosnia remains the same
Whichever way you turn Bosnia must be
borne. In health and fairness.
Bosnian troubles do not grow grey
As long as memory retains the gift of speech
