Bajramović was born on 16th April 1936 in Niš, Serbia. He attended primary school for only the first four years. When he left school, the street was his main source of musical education. At the age of nineteen, having joined the army, he left because of a girl; he was sentenced as a deserter to three years imprisonment on the island of Goli otok; because he told the military court that they couldn’t hold him for so long as he could survive, they raised his punishment to five and a half years. He survived, as he was a good goalkeeper in the prison football team. Because of his nimbleness and speed they called him "Crna Pantera", meaning "Black panther". Soon he forced his way into the prison orchestra that played, among other things, jazz (mostly Armstrong, Sinatra, and Coltrane) together with Spanish and Mexican pieces. He liked to say that he read 20,000 books in his life, most of them whilst in prison. He also said that the prison on Goli otok was his university, where he formed his philosophy, adding that a person who has never been in prison is not a person at all.
After Goli otok, his imusical career began. He made his first record in 1964, and went to make some twenty albums and about and about fifty singles. With his first major earnings he bought a white Mercedes and hired two bodyguards. The story says that he soon lost his Mercedes gambling.
Bajramović died of a heart attack in Niš on 8th June 2008.

bubamara sose ni kelel.
Devla, devla mangav la

The song "Hanuma" by Saban Bajramovic is a traditional Romani song that describes the playful and carefree nature of Bubamara, a ladybug. The lyrics are in the Romani language, and the song begins with Seni Cek singing, "Sa o raomalen phuchena, bubamara sose ni kelel," which translates to "All the roma were asking, where has the ladybug gone?"
The chorus of the song goes, "Djindji rindji Bubamaro, ciknije shuzhije, ajde mori goj romesa" which means that "Bubamara is dancing and making all the Roma dance with her." The song praises Bubamara for her ability to bring joy and happiness to those around her.
The lyrics also mention the Roma's devotion to God, as the singer calls out to Devla for help and guidance. Throughout the song, the Roma's love for music, dance, and life are celebrated, and the call to join in the festivities is extended to all.

Sećaš li se Hanuma kad smo bili mali
Kad smo jedno drugom ljubav obećali
Kleli smo se na vernost, davno je to bilo
Od tada se Hanuma više ne videsmo
Aaaj, lepa Hanuma
Tebe volim veruj mi
Već godinama
Danas ti je šesnajesti draga rođendan
Sve ti lepo u životu to ti želim ja
Znam da nosiš feredžu na tvom lepom licu
A rumene usnice samo ti se smeše
Aaaj, lepa Hanuma
Tebe volim veruj mi
Već godinama
O Hanuma molim te feredžu skini
Godinama žudim da ti lice vidim
Podigla je feredžu, nasmejala mi se
Ja se sagoh i poljubih rumene usnice
Aaaj, lepa Hanuma
Tebe volim veruj mi
Već godinama
