Emperatrice
Adi Smolar · Ne Se Bat'
vsak zazrl se je v njo.
So druge ženske zmrdovale se,
a moški vzdihovali so.
Saj lasje, obraz, postava, vse
na njej bilo je prelepo.
Prav nalahno se smehljala je,
saj je vedela, da gledajo le njo.
Emperatrice, o, o, Emperatrice!
Emperatrice, o, o, Emperatrice!
Ko hodila je po ulici,
vsak ozrl se je za njo.
So druge ženske zmrdovale se,
a moški vzdihovali so.
In živela je za to samo,
da lepa je bila.
Noben moški ni je vreden bil,
zato je vse zavračala.
Emperatrice, o, o, Emperatrice!
Emperatrice, o, o, Emperatrice!
A prehitro je minila mladost,
lepota je odšla.
Puder več ne skrije gub,
postava je klavrna.
Res prehitro je minila mladost,
lepota je odšla.
Puder več ne skrije gub,
postala starka je osamljena.
Emperatrice, o, o, Emperatrice!
Emperatrice, o, o, Emperatrice!
Emperatrice, o, o, Emperatrice!
Emperatrice, o, o, Emperatrice!
