Rijeko Bosno
Safet Isovic · Other Songs - Safet Isovic
pod Igmanom svoj si izvor skrila
preko polja i mnogih gradova
na put se dugi zaputila
Ref. 2x
Pricaj Bosno kud god budes tekla
o ljepoti seher Sarajeva
o Ilidzi i banjama njenim
pricaj Bosno svojim valovima
Rijeko nasa, rijeko znamenita
dragi Bog te dade Bosancima
vjekovima zivot dajes svima
rijeko Bosno srce u grudima
Ref. 2x
