Mutna rijeka

Ibrahim Jukan · Other Songs - Ibrahim Jukan

Lazem druge, lazem i sebe
tek onako lupam bezveze
satro da si losa treba
samo lova, samo greba
a ustvari volim te do neba

Ref.
Napijem se pa se otrijeznim
pa se onda opet napijem
mene nosi mutna rijeka
nema mene ko da ceka
tivot mi je tuga velika

Otkad si me ti napustila
od tad sebi nisam dos'o ja
od kafane do kafane
dragom Bogu kradem dane
jedva cekam da me nestane

Ref.
