Oprosti, mala
Magazin · Other Songs - Magazin
kad priznas sam sebi, Bogu i narodu
da sam ja bila najbolja
Vjetar te nosi, ja zaustavljam
koliko moj si, da ti ne pricam
da sa mnom si bio najbolji
Ref.
A gdje sam to sada
bez ljepote i sjaja
otkad dosao si s vjetrom kroz vrata
i rek'o, oprosti, mala, oprosti, mala
Oprosti za ono sto ti nikad nisam dao
zasluzila jesi, al' bolje nisam znao
rek'o i otisao, rek'o i otisao
Da sam ja bila najbolja
