Perla

Bajaga · Other Songs - Bajaga

Ni vazduh, ni cist kiseonik
ni voda
sve da sam
bolji nego sad

Da nije vreme
k'o sto jeste
i da je drugo svetlo
drugi grad

Dugo i polako
kao beskonacan broj
vucem se po gradu
sporo, od kad nisam tvoj

Ref.
Da se pojavis
k'o perla iz mora
da me udari
hiljadu Bosfora
da se meni desi to
ne bih poverovao

Da se pojavis
k'o iskra u noci
pomislio bih
da me lazu oci
da se meni desi to
ne bih poverovao

K'o perla iz mora
