dan i noc se za tebe molim
kad te nema, nema ni mene
al' ne mogu, al' ne mogu
da ti dozvolim
Da mi mladost na slamku pijes
i ljepotu od svijeta krijes
da te svake veceri cekam
i da slavim, i da slavim
kad te docekam
Sto si takav prema meni
lijepo stoji sreca zeni
sto ne mogu k'o ti biti
pa do zore s drustvom piti
Sto je tebi dopusteno
to je meni zabranjeno
sto ne mogu ja bez straha
poginuti od sevdaha
Boze dragi, ah, sto te volim
tlo gdje gazis suzama solim
kad te nema, nema ni mene
al' ne mogu, al' ne mogu
da ti dozvolim
Da mi dusu u okove stavis
oko mene zidove pravis
da ne vidjam bijeloga Boga
i da sluzim samo tebe,
tebe jednoga
Ref.
Sto je tebi Sarajevo
to je meni nebo cijelo
sto je tebi Bosna mila
to su meni moja krila
Sto su tebi plava polja
to je meni pjesma moja
il' slobodu vrati meni
il' zauvijek me okameni
Ref.
