Evo, ovu rumen ruzu
Zaim Imamovic · Other Songs - Zaim Imamovic
iz mog skromnog perivoja
na dar tebi, duso, saljem
ime joj je ljubav moja
Ako ti se miris svidi
i njezina cista boja
ti je primi s postovanjem
i zakiti njedra svoja
Ako ti se ne dopadne
baci je na oganj zivi
nek izgori, nek se stvori
u lug i u pep'o sivi
Iz tog luga i pepela
na sred tvoga perivoja
poniknuce crna gljiva
a zvacu je mrznja tvoja
Evo, ovu rumen ruzu
