Ja i moja Drina
Raspjevane Meraklije · Other Songs - Raspjevane Meraklije
al' u svijet me odvela sudbina
pa mi sada nema kasne vece
sto ne cujem kako Drina tece
Ref.
Vezani smo ja i moja Drina
k'o gudalo i k'o violina
meni nema ni pjesme ni galsa
bez zubora Drininih talasa
Vec odavno zivi u tudjini
al' mislima uvijek sam na Drini
uz to ima sad brojne valove
i osjecam da me sebi zove
Ref.
Zaklinjem se svojoj Drini rijeci
da se necu Podrinja odreci
iz tudjine idem svojoj kuci
pa da cujem kako Drina huci
Ref.
Ja i moja Drina
