Lijepi li su mostarski ducani
Himzo Polovina · Other Songs - Himzo Polovina
jos su ljepsi mladi bazerdzani
jos su ljepsi mladi bazerdzani
a najljepsi bazerdzan Mustafa
Haj, prosetala Suljagina Fata
haj, prosetala do Mostara grada
luta Fata po carsiji sama
ona trazi Muju bazerdzana
Nadje Muju u sedmom ducanu
hej, bolan, Mujo, daj mi oku zlata
hej, bolan, Mujo, daj mi oku zlata
Haj, nemam, nemam, Suljagina Fato
haj, danas, Fato, ja ne mjerim zlato
tereziju nosili jarani
pa se nesto terezija kvari
nego udji, magaza ovamo
uzmi zlata koliko ti drago
hej, uzmi zlata koliko ti drago
Haj, prevari se Suljagina Fata
haj, prevari se, zalosna joj majka
udje Fata u magazu sama
za njom udje Mujo, zamandali vrata
hej, za njom Mujo zamandali vrata
