Ah te zene
Safet Isovic · Other Songs - Safet Isovic
dusu grije i opija
vinom svojih poljubaca
Svaka nebom zvijezde nize
svaka zarkom suncu dize
i u more tuge baca
Ref.
Ah, te zene vile bijele, vile bijele
kad proliju suze vrele
od nas cine sve sto zele
Kad joj grudi ognjem planu
zarkim suncem oci granu
rujna zora s lica svane
Je l' rodila momka majka
da od derta i meraka
za njom bolno ne uzdahne
Ref.
Otkad zemlja dane broji
na zenama svijet stoji
nasim nebom ona vlada
Zbog zene se suze liju
zbog zene se bitke biju
na koljena sultan pada
Ref.
