Kristifore, crni sine (duet Verica Todorovic)

Djordje Balasevic · Other Songs - Djordje Balasevic

Dosadio spanskom kralju
stalno jedan isti svet
na Kolumba izbor pade
da nacini preokret

Nije stig'o da se snadje
vec mu utrapise ladje
i rekose nadji kontinent
nije znao da ce sasvim promasiti liniju
da ce naci Ameriku sve trazeci Indiju

Ref.
Kristifore, crni sine
kud se vinu na pucine
kad ti to ne lezi ni za lek
ne ide se preko mora
bez kompasa i motora
nema veze sto je srednji vek

Jednog dana, kad pred njima
neka zemlja velika
svi mislise Indija kad ono Amerika
Kristof se za glavu hvata
stavlja omcu oko vrata
da potrazi stvarno drugi svet

Ljudi moji, totalno sam promasio liniju
nasao sam Ameriku, a trazio Indiju

Ref.
