Sultanija

Sultanija beharom se kiti
salomio grane
zbog nje cempres viti

A u gori zaplakala vila
sto sam prva ljubav
tom cempresu bila

Ref. 2x
Bosnom behar zamirisace
prva ljubav, moje proljece
eh, kako cu bez ljubavi ja
tesko mi je uvijek s proljeca

Sultanija, zvijezda moja sjajna
zlatnim perom
vjecna ljubav zapisana

Od ljepote priroda se skrila
kao ljubav prva
sto je moja bila

Ref. 2x
