Barbara
Hari Mata Hari · Other Songs - Hari Mata Hari
i kako gore kod vas u Ljubljani
ponekad, padaju purpurne kise
Kad navratis nekad u moje snove
Sa svojim davnim
mirisom ciklame
ja zadrhtim kao prut
kao izgubljeni balon
Ref.
Barbara, o moja Barbara
odnijeli su tebe dani
odnijeli te konji vrani
stani ludo srce, nije kraj
Barbara, o moja Barbara
ti si vatra, u njoj gorim
zbog tebe se ja jos borim
nasa plava zvijezda ima sjaj
U basti pepela iz mojih snova
cesto narastes k'o oblak iz mora
zivis kratko kao leptir
samo par sati dok spava svemir
I vidim ti oci kako se sjaje
dok nijemo pozdravljas dimnjacare
i trazis neke cari orijenta
u ovom gradu na kraju svijeta
Ref.
