Imala pa nemala
Alen Osmanovic · Other Songs - Alen Osmanovic
da ti zivot srecu da
kad sve sto meni znaci
izgubio s tobom ja
Htijela bih na pravdi Boga
napustiti srusen dom
al znaj gdje god odes
nemas mira u srcu svom
Ref.
Imala pa nemala
ljubav da ti dusu grije
da bi meni poslije tebe
hladan vijetar dusu vije
Imala pa nemala
u zivotu pravog puta
da bi moja sjenka sama
zbog prevara tvojih luta
Stvarno ne bih bilo fer
da ostvaris svoje sne
kad si meni za tren samo
unistila snove sve
Htijela bih na pravdi Boga
napustiti srusen dom
al znaj gdje god odes
nemas mira u srcu svom
Ref.
Imala pa nemala
