Banja Luko sejo mila
Mitar Miric · Other Songs - Mitar Miric
zasto me je ostavila
otisla je noci jedne
i odnjela dane srecne
Ref. 2x
Ljepsu niko sreo nije
sve od Bosne do Srbije
Banja Luko ziva bila
daj covjeku ovom krila
da preletim preko gora
naci cu je ja to moram
Ref. 2x
Banja Luko kuco moja
nemam mira ni spokoja
svakom onom ko je sreo
uzela je srca deo
Ref. 2x
