Zalosna ti majka
Ljuba Alicic · Other Songs - Ljuba Alicic
Ja sam samo srecu
kao behar znao
al' za tvoju ljubav
ja bih zivot dao
Ref. 2x
Zalosna ti majka
sta ucini ti
zasto mene mladog
bolu prepusti
Ja sam samo tebi
celog sebe dao
da si gresna zena
ja bih sebe dao
Ref. 2x
Zar da tako lako
rusis moje snove
zar ti duse nemas
za sve muke moje
