Prodjoh Bosnom

Prodjoh Bosnom kroz gradove
al' ne nadjoh srcu mira
jedna stara uspomena
osjecaje moje dira

U mladosti svojoj ranoj
ljubio sam djevu mladu
to je nekad davno bilo
u starome Visegradu

Setali smo pokraj Drine
pjevali smo pjesme nase
sevdisasmo na sred mosta
Sokolovic Mehmed pase

Godine su mnoge prosle
splavovi se Drinom krecu
kroz Visegrad sam se setam
znam da dragu vidjet necu
