Ustaj bre i bori se

Dunja Ilic · Other Songs - Dunja Ilic

Pustam da me grli tuga
jer to zlato kratko trajace
s jutrom nova zena se budi
i u njoj vatre gorece

Ne vidis portret jedne zene
sto u dva dela gleda se
jedan deo place, a drugi se smeje
ali oba reci ce

Kad je tesko, a ti lepotice
ustaj bre i bori se

Videces sta se krije
iza tog pitomog lica
koje te je privuklo
cim si me upoznao

Sa mnom mozes prizvati
andjela ili djavola
a ti djavola si prizvao
