Zatvorite sve kafane
Lazar Kalezic · Other Songs - Lazar Kalezic
tuzna lica i ranjena srca
noge su me bolele
grudi su mi gorele
kad naidjoh na kafanu neku
Ref.
Zatvorite sve kafane
samo da mi tuga stane
violino sviraj meni
jer to zeli ostavljeni
Zatvorite sve kafane
samo da mi tuga stane
pevajte o jednoj zeni
jer to zeli ostavljeni
U kafani tocilo se vino
crno vino melem mi je bilo
tad olaksah mojoj dusi
sto ne pisti, sto me gusi
i u ponor uspomena vodi
