Bosa nova

Lola Novakovic · Other Songs - Lola Novakovic

Lep je kao cvet
vedar kao smeh
suncan kao dan
novi ritam taj

Nezan kao san
leti kroz noc
jos samo cas
i on je tu kraj nas

Ref.
Igraj ovu bosa novu
igraj celu noc
igraj ovu bosa novu
igraj sa mnom sad

Svuta leti, leti ove pesme glas
dok ritam srece nezno grli nas
igraj ovu bosa novu
dok traje noc

Igraj sad i ti
igraj sad tu bosa novu
ovaj ples je nas
igraj sad tu bosa novu
igraj sad i ti
igraj sad tu bosa novu
taj veseli ples
