Drumska kafana
Ljuba Alicic · Other Songs - Ljuba Alicic
topi se januarska noc
put mi krivuda i samo Bog zna
kuda ce da me povede
Muzika tiha, odvlaci paznju
al' oko vec gubi moc
lagani umor i san k'o lopov
nekoj me kafani dovede
Ref.
Kao udar okeanskog vala
pogledi se nasi sudarise
a tvoj izgled, drustvo i sudbina
u srce me pravo pogodise
Imala si sa mnom sta si htela
al' ostade na slomljenoj grani
jos se pitam kako moja draga
da zavrsi u drumskoj kafani
Vidim da neka umorna lica
nocima docekuju dan
umorne ruke, krvave oci
tuzna su takva svitanja
Dok mesto trazim, misli se roje
ko li je domacin svemu tvom
oziljci cudni na tvome vratu
odgovor su na sva pitanja
Ref.
