Erna Dzeba · Other Songs - Erna Dzeba
ti se vec dugo sastajes sa njim
to je za mene tesko saznanje
i rodjenu sestru voljela sam manje
Ref.
Sta ti je bilo dal' si sisla s uma
jer ja sam htjela da mi budes kuma
umjesto u sestru u tebe se klela
kako si mogla, kako si smjela
Izdaja to je i strasan sram
ja nisam ziva otkad to znam
da li ces smjeti, da li ces moci
da me jos jednom pogledas u oci
Ref. 2x
