Baklje Ivanjske (feat. Mladen Bodalec)
Doris Dragovic · Other Songs - Doris Dragovic
svijetlo oka mog
sva sam za te gorjela
kao baklja Ivanjska
Ispruzene ruke prazne ostale
ispruzene ruke
samo na te cekale, strepile
Mislio sam da cu
biti hrabar ja
k'o oluja ponosna
k'o oluja pobjedonosna
I zadrhtao sam sto put'
sto put' zbog tebe
al' izdrzao sam sve
divlje more i ponore zbog tebe
Ref.
I ne pomisli na mene
kad te stignu uspomene
i ne trudi se da znas
gdje i s kim sam sad
Ne raspituj se za mene
sad je neko drugo vrijeme
davno sam za ljubav ja izgorjela
izgorio ja kao baklja Ivanjska
Ispruzene ruke prazne ostale
ispruzene ruke
samo na te cekale, strepile
I zadrhtao sam sto put'
sto put' zbog tebe
al' izadrzao sam sve
divlje more i ponore zbog tebe
Ref. 2x
