Ta tvoja ruka mala
Ivo Robic · Other Songs - Ivo Robic
znam, setnji je kraj
na rastanku sada
bar ruku mi daj
Ta tvoja ruka mala
mi stiskom veli
da srce si mi dala
u divnom casu tom
Ta kretnja njezna, blaga
zar tajit zeli
kolika lezi snaga
u custvu tvom
Dosad mi osmijeh ti
poklonila nisi
toliko uvijek plaha
il' gorda ti si
No tvoja ruka mala
mi stiskom veli
da srce si mi dala
u casu tom
