Bosanka me majka rodi
Nedzad Salkovic · Other Songs - Nedzad Salkovic
u brdima Bosne
zato pjevam i veselim
bosanke ponosne
Vesele su kad me cuju
pjesma kad se vije
jer za Bosnom i sevdahom
moje srce bije
Tamo mi je draga moja
samo o njoj snjevam
najsrecniji ja sam onda
kada za nju pjevam
Majku mi je odmjenila
i cedo rodila
dvore mi je ukrasila
zato mi je mila
Bosanka me majka rodi
