Zbog jedne divne crne žene
Kico Slabinac · Other Songs - Kico Slabinac
Ja gledao sam sunce na istoku
kako se budi
i gledao sam oblake i jutro
u tisucu boja
Sklapao oci od bola
i skrivao suze
a ona je ostala tamo
daleko u noci
Ref.
Zbog jedne divne crne zene
zbog njene divne crne kose
zbog jednog pogleda tuznog u noci
zbog obecanja, da ce mi doci
tuzan i sam, cekam je ja
Daleko me nosila ptica srebrnih krila
u zemlju u kojoj je nekad i ona bila
toliko sam zelio srecu i ljubav bez kraja
al' zivot me odnio dalje daleko od nje
