Ove su te ruke milovale
Ljuba Alicic · Other Songs - Ljuba Alicic
sve ti dale, ljubav poklanjale
a ti sada mrzis ove ruke dve
ove ruke sto su tebe grlile
Ove su ti oci verovale
smejale se s tobom i plakale
a ti sada mrzis crne oci te
crne oci sto su tebe sanjale
Ovo te je srce osecalo
svoju ljubav tebi obecalo
a ti sada mrzis ludo srce to
ludo srce sto je tebe volelo
Ove su te ruke milovale
