V dolini tihi
Lojze Slak · Other Songs - Lojze Slak
v večernem mraku vse že mirno spava
le eno okno še odprto je
na njem slonelo žalostno dekle
le eno okno še odprto je
na njem slonelo žalostno dekle
vse že spava samo mesec sveti
tja na okno otožnemu dekletu
in jo sprašuje zakaj ne še ne spi
zakaj tak grenke solze briše si
in jo sprasuje zakaj ne še ne spi
zakaj tak grenke solze briše si
slavček pel je pel je pesem svojo
a jaz tajila sem ljubezen svojo
al on odšel je odšel je daleč proč
zapel zavriskal je v tiho noč
al on odšel je odšel je daleč proč
zapel zavriskal je v tiho noč
