Svirajte mi za Zeljanu
Ljuba Alicic · Other Songs - Ljuba Alicic
duge setnje kraj zelene reke
sad se secam jedne lepe zene
zene koja nije pored mene
Ref. 2x
Svirajte mi za Zeljanu
moju ljubav, moju ranu
svirajte za dane srece
njoj poklanjam ovo vece
Godina je dana od rastanka
a jos cesto njen lik mi se javi
hocu da se zajedno secamo
onih noci pesme i ljubavi
Ref. 2x
Ako nekad ona ovde svrati
svirajte joj pesmu nasih dana
nek je pesma seti na coveka
koji zove vrati se Zeljana
Ref. 2x
