Voljela me jedna Esma

ne suskaju dimije
presusila stara cesma
voljela me jedna Esma
Ref.
Dok sam bio bogat ja
Esma me je voljela
blago mi je uzela
s mladim momkom pobjegla
Evo me opet
pokraj stare cesme
sve je kao nekad
pjevaju se pjesme
sve je kao nekad
samo nema, samo nema Esme
Nema Esme ljepojke
da joj mrsim uvojke
ne cuje se pjesma stara
Esma voli mog drugara
Ref.
Ne cuju se dajre
bez muzike kraj mi je
pokraj cesme svelo cvijece
lijepa Esma doci nece
Ref.
