Evo vec je osmi dan

kako lezim bolestan
nisam pio rakije
niko ne zna sta mi je
Ref.
Kunem oca, kunem majku
zasto su mi zivot dali
kad su znali da je volim
sto je nisu sacuvali
ne trazite lek za mene ozdravicu
kad poljubim usne njene
Da je nisam voleo
ja se ne bih razboleo
zasto sam se rodio
srece nisam imao
Ref.
Jednog jutra nestade
njena senka ostade
mislih sunce sija ce
vec se nadam doci ce
Ref.
