Zaigrajmo nocas svi
jedno kolo bosansko
sto ga igrat moze svako
svako srce vatreno

a ja sam bosanka
a ja sam bosanka
a ja sam bosanka vatrena

samo pjesma u zivotu
srcu mome ritam daje
korak napred nazad dva
ludu igru igram ja

Bosanka sam majko ja
takvu si me rodila
srce moje ludo igra
otkaci se kao cigra

a ja sam sam bosanka
a ja sam bosankaaa
bosankaaaa vatrena
