Tamara
Bajaga · Balade
ja sam te cekao satima.
Tvoj verni hrt Berzoi,
je lajao pred vratima.
Na minus dvadeset i sest,
Moskva je tonula u san.
Ja sam se topio k'o sneg,
kada ga stavis na dlan.
Tamara, cekanje me strasno zamara.
Bele noci vetar samara,
a tebe nema.
Tamara, nikad nije bilo tuznije,
da smo samo malo juznije,
negde dole juzno.
A ja sam bio strasno cool,
i nisam padao na fore.
Da li je tako bilo hladno,
i mornarima sa Aurore.
Mada si bila lepsa od Neve,
i raskosnija od Jermitaza,
ne bi te cek'o ni Zilber Beko,
to bi za njega bila blamaza.
Tamara, cekanje me strasno zamara.
Bele noci vetar samara,
a tebe nema.
Tamara, nikad nije bilo tuznije,
da smo samo malo juznije,
negde dole juzno.
