place i nisane ljubi
suze roni, bijele prste lomi
suze roni, bijele prste lomi
Ja imadoh pet sinova
k'o pet gorskih vila
a sada ih kabur zemlja skriva
a sada ih kabur zemlja skriva
Da mi Allah djecu uze
ni po moje muke
vec padose od dusmanske ruke
vec padose od dusmanske ruke
Zadnje rijeci majka zbori
i na mezar pada
jer joj srce prepuce od jada
jer joj srce prepuce od jada
Na mezaru majka place
