Da se nikad nismo sreli
Lepa Lukic · Other Songs - Lepa Lukic
samo tebe jednog voli
a ti mesto malo srece
zadajes mi mnogo boli
Ref.
Iz ociju suza tece
dok ti pisem ovo pismo
kamo nase puste srece
da se nikad sreli nismo
Tako sa mnom dane kratis
jer ti takva igra mili
idi da se ne povratis
putevi ti zlatni bili
Ref.
Nemoj da ti misli tuze
sta ce meni zivot dati
da cu gazit' nezne ruze
il' uvelo cvece brati
Ref.
