Secas li se

Lepa Lukic · Other Songs - Lepa Lukic

Dal' ces doci svome rodnom kraju
i videti sve najdraze svoje
majka place, otac ti se nada
uzalud te traze oci moje

Ref.
Secas li se naseg malog mesta
sto u njega cesce ne navratis
ja bi' za te preko sveta dosla
kad bi' znala da zbog mene patis

Zarko zelim da te opet grlim
k'o nekada dok si ovde bio
ali mene stalno more misli
dal' si mozda nekoj drugoj mio

Ref.

Ako zelis selu da se vratis
kazi zbogom tom ukletom gradu
dodji skoro svome milom domu
jer me neces vise naci mladu

Ref.
