Dje si brate, dje si imenjace

ove noci leti u visine
imam brata na Manjaci zivi
pozdravi ga, to je soko sivi
Ref.
'Dje si brate, 'dje si imenjace
pozdravljam te s planine Manjace
pozdravi mi Milenu i Zoru
Drinu vodu, Romaniju goru
Pjesmo moja poleti k'o ptica
'dje je Mrkonjic, Zmijanje, Sitnica
sta mi braca u Krajini cine
pozdravlja vas pobratim sa Drine
Ref.
Dugo braco vidjali se nismo
isti nam je obicaj i pismo
cuvaj Boze moga pobratima
Vrbas vodo pozdravlja te Drina
Ref.
Dje si brate, dje si imenjace
