Zena od pepela

Ova sto pjeva nisam ja
nemoj me nista pitati
ja vise nemam imena
to mogu tebi cestitati

Ova sto place nisam ja
moje su suze prozirne
ja sam lice bez pogleda
moje su usne nemirne

Ref.
Jer ti si sunce
na tebe sam se opekla
jer ti si vatra
uz tebe sam izgorjela

A gdje je ljubav
gdje se sakrila
cija sam ja
zena od pepela

Ova sto place nisam ja
moje su suze prozirne
ja sam lice bez pogleda
moje su usne nemirne
