i prosao na sve cet'ri strane
mnoge su mi nanosile rane
ponajvise djevojka iz Sane
Ref. 2x
Sanjanko, djevojko, ljepa si ko vila
u srcu Krajine, majka te rodila
Kad proseta pokraj rijeke Sane
okrece se i staro i mlado
svud se cuju uzdasi momaka
prepuknuce srce od meraka
Ref. 2x
Zlatnu burmu, stavljam ti na ruku
i dukate oko bijelog vrata
u subotu po tebe cu doci
izdrzati vise necu moci
Ref. 2x
