Fatima

Zvonko Bogdan · Other Songs - Zvonko Bogdan

Ako Osman Djikic ljubljase Djaurku
a Aleksa Santic lijepu Eminu
pa ko moze meni onda da ga zabrani
da u vjecnu ceznju pretvorim Fatimu

Da se danas skupe
svi pijesnici svijeta
pa da pjesmom vrate stari most Mostaru
da okom upisem na kamenu nekom
samo jedno ime lijepe Fatime
