Kad bi bio blizu
Magazin · Other Songs - Magazin
ko bi sa mnom zamjenio strane
moja vojska suza ranjena
jos se nije povukla
Ja te sretnoga sanjam na dane
pa mi kapa samoca na rame
kako samo mi nedostajes
ni ne pitas se da l' smijes
K'o led u kosti ljubav se uvukla
zelja za tobom skroz me dotukla
Ref.
Kad bi bio blizu
bio blizu kraj mene
jednu noc bez suza
dugujes mi najmanje
Ja se ponadam tebi na dane
sirom otvorim oci k'o lane
onda biram ruz i haljine
koje volis najvise
