Moj dragi Beograde
Lola Novakovic · Other Songs - Lola Novakovic
prosla kroz Atinu, vecni Rim
videla sam Napulj i Veronu
jarkim suncem obasjani Krim
Gledala sam raskos i bogatstvo
mnoge cari sretala sam tad
ali nigde, nigde ne pronadjoh
to sto ima moj voljeni grad
Ref.
Moj Beograd srce ima
i u srcu ljubav cistu
Beograd ruke siri svima
svakom radost pruza istu
Ja se divim carima Pariza
Prag ce uvek biti zlatni grad
postujem ih, ali ljubav moju
ima samo moj voljeni grad
Ref.
Moj dragi Beograde
