Otilia
Djordje Balasevic · Other Songs - Djordje Balasevic
dvanaest zvoncica na njenoj bluzici
sam je crni djavo poturio note muzici
vrtela prstic oko dugmeta
starija joj sestra bila kao ukleta
obecale kuci da ce doci i pre ponoci
Jedva da se secam
prvih pet-sest slova njenog imena
mesec nesto flekav, k'o stara trumpeta limena
vitlao Bozic jata zvezdana
mrznuo je Dunav nizvodno od Bezdana
a u nasem kraju, lepih seka iznad proseka
Ref.
I bas lakonoga, za drugoga zarucena
a za mene narucena kod Boga
moja lepotuska, nedopijen gutljaj vina
dah karmina na krajicku opuska
Ko reci par u spomenar
Jedva da se secam
da je ribnjak bio srmom okovan
tad i nikad vise miris'o je sneg na jorgovan
o, mati joj njena skrila papuce
od mraza ringlov pred kucom napuce
u ocove cizme pa do carde preko verande
Ref.
I teski lom u srcu mom
'Ajmo deco
Ref.
Ko reci par u spomenar
Ref.
I teski lom u srcu mom
