Oci boje lavande

skitnicu neku, da druga si zena
a ja san skoro lud od tvoga otrova
i molin se pred ikonom svetom
ljubavi moja
Ref.
Ja pozelin nocas
oci boje lavande
i bisere njene
sto ih usnama skriva
vrati mi Boze
oci boje lavande
jer sutra ce kise
isprati sve, isprati sve
Mjeseca srebro, i sunca sjaj
tuga i bol ne idu u raj
sanjao san kako letis u krilu andjela
sad je i Bog na tvojoj strani
ljubavi moja
Ref. 2x
