Zelim ti reci

Kaliopi · Other Songs - Kaliopi

Zelim ti reci, al' nemam kad
jer ti si brzi od svjetlosti sad
tamo gdje nebo ljubi zemlju
tamo ja cu tebe uvijek cekati

Zelim ti reci, a ne znam sto
k'o djete zbunjeno pred tobom stojim
a strasno mrzim to
dok se meni ruke znoje
a tjelo govori mi da odustanem

Ipak, zelim ti reci sad
koliko mi treba da te
u narucju svome uzmem
i od tuznih sjena
otklonim ti trag

Da ga nema, da ga nema
u tim tvojim preljepim
tamnim ocima

Zelim ti reci
al' nestaje mi dah
kad' ti kroz mene gledas
pogledom koji budi mi strah

Tada nebo ima boju
tajne skrivenih oblaka
koji uzaludno trazili su
sunce ispod mraka

A, zelim ti samo dobro
zelim ti sve ono sto ti
nikad nisam mogla rec'
