Zena u crnom
Ljuba Lukic · Other Songs - Ljuba Lukic
u losoj krcmi sedim sa bolom
kao kroz maglu ugledah ja
prilazi zena u crnom sva
Ref.
Zena u crnom sede kraj mene
od jednom srce presta da vene
pijanu dusu recima takla
daj podji sa mnom iz ovog pakla
Ja podjoh za njom, ne znam ni kuda
ne zna ni glava, pijana, luda
da l' hoce mene da oslobodi
il' me u veci pakao vodi
Ref.
Pomislih crno, to je nesreca
al' ona postade moja sreca
ako ti bude kao i meni
sa zenom u crnom slobodno kreni
Ref.
