Cekala je jedna zena
Magazin · Other Songs - Magazin
Ne teku rijeke, ptice ne lete
jos nekog ceka nevjesta jedna nevjencana
nedjelja nedocekana
jedna dusa uboga
Ne sumi vjetar, ne disu ruze
jos nekog trazi jedna ruka neprosena
jedna mladost pokosena
jedna dusa uboga
Ref.
Cekala je jedna zena
jedna zena nevoljena
cekala je, cekala
nebo zemlji salje dugu
da sakrije njenu tugu
mirise pelin u polju
Kad bi struna bila zena
plakala bi pjesma njena
hej, a nocas napolju
bagremi cvjetaju
I svako vece zena u bijelom
jos nekog zove
kosa joj duga necesljana
haljina bijela izguzvana
jedna dusa uboga
