vidio sam svaki put
nema voca, nema cvijeca
da postoji uzalud
Pitao sam gdje da idem
vodila me sudbina
rekli su mi, gledaj tamo
sjaji medju brdima
Od cega se to sija
od dragih imena
sija od ljepote
sarajevskih zena
Ref.
Sarajevo, Sarajevo
ooo, Sarajevo
O, neka, neka sipaj meke
one jake nisu neke
sutra cemo vaditi fleke
Ima dana i kafana
i nesto u grudima
ima pjesma koju pjevas
samo dragima ljudima
Ref.
