Esma (duet Aleksandar Domic)
Dado Polumenta · Other Songs - Dado Polumenta
i da skucim srce svoje
smejao se, radovao
bezbroj puta laznoj sreci
Onda resih da pobegnem
od sudbine puste svoje
al' ne znadoh da sudbini
ne mogu uteci
Da se smirim probao sam
i da skucim srce svoje
smejao se, radovao
bezbroj puta laznoj sreci
Onda rijesih da pobjegnem
od sudbine puste svoje
al' ne znadoh da sudbini
ne mogu uteci
Ref.
Pojila me prvom rosom
opijala bujnom kosom
budila me uspavankom
nocima mi jutra plela
ali onda ode s cergom moja Esma
cigancica moja bijela
Pojila me prvom rosom
opijala bujnom kosom
budila me uspavankom
nocima mi jutra plela
ali onda ode s cergom moja Esma
cigancica moja bela
I tad shvatih da je kuca
tamo gdje ti srce spava
da je zivot jedna varka
da je ljubav samo prava
Otad svetom lutam tuzan
samo bolne pevam pesme
sta sam ti, zivote, duzan
gdje su oci moje Esme
I tad shvatih da je kuca
tamo gde ti srce spava
da je zivot jedna varka
da je ljubav samo prava
Otad svetom lutam tuzan
samo bolne pevam pesme
sta sam ti, zivote, duzan
gde su oci moje Esme
