Svu noc sam te cekala
Beba Selimovic · Other Songs - Beba Selimovic
na istoku vec se budi dan
noc je prosla, tebe nije bilo
srcu mome da ublazis jad
Ref. 2x
Svu noc sam te cekala
svu noc te dozivala
a u zoru umorna
sa suzama zaspala
Sreco moja, zeljo mojih noci
i slavuja vec se cuje poj
ja te cekam, zar mi neces doci
da me primis u zagrljaj svoj
Ref. 2x
Suzo moja, rano srca moga
poljem dodje blagog jutra dan
svak se budi ljubec dragog svoga
kraj prozora na te cekam ja
Ref. 2x
