A to nije to

Jasar Ahmedovski · Other Songs - Jasar Ahmedovski

Kako zivim, pitas mene
bolje pitaj samu sebe
zbog tebe je rana vecna
ne lazi me da si srecna

Ref.
Rastavljeni, rastavljeni, ali vecno zaljubljeni
imas nekog, cuo sam za to
i ja imam neku
a to, a to nije to

Mucimo se, sami znamo
al' necemo da priznamo
ti u njemu trazis mene
a ja njoj vidim tebe

Ref.

Mi smo tugom, sto bi krili
sami sebe osudili
da zivimo rastavljeni
i do groba zaljubljeni

Ref.
