List of Bosnia and Herzegovina folk songs

[4][5][6] Many artists have covered the song, but the version by fellow Mostar native, Bosnian singer Himzo Polovina, remains the most popular.

Upon hearing of the death of Emina Sefić, Polovina went to poet Sevda Katica's home in the Mostar neighborhood of Donja Mahala.

[8] Although the song is much older, the first known recording was in 1935[9] in Gacko to the voice of a Bosniak peasant singer in her 60s named Halima Hrvo (née Đemo) from the village of Tjentište near Foča.

[10][11] Kraj tanana šadrvana was translated into Bosnian in 1923 by Aleksa Šantić from a poem called Der Asra (The Azra) by the German poet Heinrich Heine.

Sejdefu majka buđaše is a folk song that is believed to have originated in Sarajevo centuries ago, while the region of Bosnia was a part of the Ottoman Empire.
