Janicar
Predrag Cune Gojkovic · Other Songs - Predrag Cune Gojkovic
bojevima ljutim vodjen
palio je jedan ratnik
selo gde je rodjen
Ref.
Sina majci iz narucja
oteo je zulumcar
sada kune svoju sudbu
sto je janicar
Na ognjistu puste kuce
plakala je jedna stara
iznad nje je sablju dig'o
ratnik koji hara
Ref.
Ne diz' na me ruku sine
ako svoje jade znades
majka sam ti jer prepoznah
iznad usne mladez
Ref.
Sjaha s konja mlad janicar
baci sablju dizgin pusti
majka htede nesto reci
ali ne izusti
Ref.
