Odlazi suzo, odlazi tugo

Ljuba Alicic · Other Songs - Ljuba Alicic

Dugo me dugo pratila tuga
dugo sam bio ptica bez luga
krajnje je vreme, bolje da krenem
seti se Boze, jednom i mene

Ref.
Odlazi suzo, odlazi tugo
nismo mi bilo jedno za drugo
rodjen ja nisam srecu da prosim
vec samo da je u srcu nosim

Mnoge mi zore gledale suze
sve sto sam hteo zivot mi uze
ne mogu vise krajnje je vreme
da meni jednom nabolje krene

Ref.

Dosta je bilo muka i jada
dok srce zivi postoji nada
za zivot mnogo razloga ima
ljubav da dajem, ljubav da primam

Ref.
