Boem u dusi
Drazen Zecic · Other Songs - Drazen Zecic
u zivotu uvijek, moras biti prvi
govorila majka, pomozi siromahu
ucila nas crkva, to nam je u krvi
Prijatelji opet, pricaju po svome
okreni se i uzmi, sto ti srce zeli
zaboravi srce, pogledaj na sebe
nije ipak ono, u sto smo se kleli
A onda dodje ti, naljepsa zena
utjeha i nada, u zivotu mom
izgubih i tebe, prokockah te glupo
zbog lude duse, otisla si drugom
Ref 2x
I kad okrenem se cesto
gledam iza sebe
shvatim u zivotu, nista vise nemam
samo tvoja pisma, gitaru staru
i ovu dusu, punu uspomena
Pa se sada pitam
tko je za to kriv
mozda Bog, mozda nebo
a mozda i ti
A onda ipak shvatim
boem sam u dusi
i gdje god da krenem
uvijek gubim ja
Jer opet da se rodim
i upoznam mnoge zene
zivio bih isto i volio tebe
i vise, nikoga
Ref. 2x
