Nisu te dali za sirota
Husnija Mesaljic · Other Songs - Husnija Mesaljic
u ova teska vremena
kad vise za nas srece nema
kad je sve samo uspomena
Ref. 2x
Nisu te dali za sirota
a nisu mogli za bogata
majka ti je srecu izabrala
da zivis sama do kraja zivota
Voljela si ruzo moja
oka crna dva, i ja tvoja
za kcerku si ime izabrala
a ja za sina bas po mome
al' ga nemam dati nikome
Ref. 2x
