Crveni se zora

Crveni se zora, da li umirem
u reku bez povratka tiho uvirem
crveni se zora, majko, ne placi
budi mi jos nocas dusi cuvar najjaci
Jos uvek joj oci trazim
dok me reka uzima
al' je nema, istinu mi
srce ne prima
Da l' joj barem malo vazim
dok me reka uzima
al' je nema, istinu mi
srce ne prima
Ref. 2x
Jos uvek joj usne zelim
al' znam da me izdaje
rumenova ko da tugu
s neba priznaje
Jos uvek joj usne zelim
jeza dusom prolazi
to po mene luda zvezda
s neba dolazi
Ref. 2x
