Seoski delija

Ljuba Alicic · Other Songs - Ljuba Alicic

Zbog coveka jednog pored kog' si sada
ti odlete davno u zagrljaj grada
opanke i jelek menjas za kostime
sad si druga zena isto samo ime

Ref.
A ja seoski delija
sve me redje vidja kuca i avlija
jos ozenjen nisam ne znam ni sta cekam
mozda jednu zenu iz grada daleka

Jos za tobom placu baste bagremova
gde smo nekad setali od jutra do mraka
jos je srce puno onih nasih snova
jos za tobom ovde peva ptica svaka

Ref.

Ne cuje se pesma sa tvoga cajra
a i moja truba prestade da svira
prolazi mi mladost al' ostaju nade
da ces opet doci na nase livade

Ref.
