Ivan Kukolj · Other Songs - Ivan Kukolj

Najbolji drugari okrecu mi ledja
to je ono sto me sada vredja
ja sa tobom nisam, a oni ne mare
nude ti za ljubav i zivot i pare

Ref.
Nemam vise prijatelja
ni druga, ni brata
prezivecu svima iz inata

Najbolji drugari nisu vise moji
to je ono sto me sada boli
ja sa tobom nisam, al' ne mare za to
nude ti za ljubav i zivot i zlato

Ref.

Najbolji drugari samo mi se cine
to je ono sto me sada brine
ja sa tobom nisam, a njima je drago
nude ti za ljubav i zivot i zlato

Ref.
