Ja sam lovac od imena
Safet Isovic · Other Songs - Safet Isovic
sva me zemlja zna
nema staze ni bogaze
kud ne prodjem ja
Bilo kojom
planinom ili dolinom
odjekuje puska moja
k'o nebeski grom
Puska grmi, perje sipa
do pred samu noc
vuk lisicu, jelen srnu
zove upomoc
Perkice cu za sesir
divljac na tanjir
i komsiji bice casti
za svadbeni pir
A kada se lov zavrsi
zna se obicaj
pice, pice i sjelo
lovacki je raj
Kad zasvira moj jaran
a ja zapjevam
djevojaka tu se sjati
broja im ne znam
Kad zasvira moj jaran
a ja zapjevam
o medenim poljupcima
da i ne pricam
Ja sam lovac od imena
