Kukavica
Ceca · Other Songs - Ceca
i podji putem kuda idu kukavice,
pratice te moje oci lutalice,
zensko srce nezno poput lastavice,
sto od bola ugine...
Zagrli me,
samo jednom covek budi,
ne lazi me,
ako odes, nikad vise ne trazi me,
samo napred ne muci se
ne gledaj me,
ja odavno slutim sve...
Kukavica,
niam znala da si takva kukavica,
sa mnom spavas,
druga ti je nesanica,
bojis se da priznas to...
Kukavica,
ti si samo jedna vise kukavica,
mislis da sam ona ista devojcica,
koju laze bilo ko...
Zagrli me,

Kukavica,
nisam takva da si takva kukavica,

mislis da sam ona ista devojcica,
