Mala Semsa

Sinan Sakic · Other Songs - Sinan Sakic

Pjevala je Semsa mala
kao slavuj iz behara
zbog njezine sevdalinke
pucale su case vinske

Mnoge kuce i ducani
i biseri i djerdani
otisli su na telala
prodala ih Semsa mala

Bacali joj zlato sjajno
za njezino grlo bajno
narukvice i prstenje
za raskosne ruke njene

Zene, majke i djevojke
prolile su suze gorke
propili se momci, ljudi
Semsa pjesmom sve zaludi

Prosli dani raspjevani
kao poljem konji vrani
nesta Semse, sejtan zene
umuknule pjesme njene

Otisla je bez pozdrava
niz drumove zaborava
bez djerdana i dukata
i bisera ispod vrata
