Sarajka djevojka

Halid Beslic · Other Songs - Halid Beslic

Sto li to mirise
dok se budi carsija
ko li to na vrelu
bijelo lice umiva

Sto rano ustaje
kad joj nije potreba
posla je po vodu
da bi majci pomogla

Ref.
To je moja Sarajka djevojka
biseri joj u ocima
a zumbuli na usnama
ljepota od Boga

Svi su je gledali
ona jedno znala je
kome je sudjena
kome ruku dala je
