Svilen konac
Brend · Other Songs - Brend
ja matora, napaljena
od muskih zapostavljena, joj
srbova, ratova
ej, zelje moje puste politicke
Ref. 2x
Sudnica je popunjena
ja nevina osudjena
zbog Radovana
Silan zatvor, u njem' zivim ja
boli uvo mene zbog etnickog ciscenja
ej, robijanje moje kraj Stokholma
Optuzi me ona Karla, joj
svedoke je prikupila
proces mi je namestila, joj
Raso bre, Ratko bre
ej, srbovanje moje zalud bese
Ref. 2x
Svilen konac, Seveningen kroj
ja malena, uhapsena
optuzena, sad sam samo broj
priznadoh, izdadoh
ej, robijanje moje kraj Stokholma
Ref. 2x
