Taj covek
Marinko Rokvic · Other Songs - Marinko Rokvic
i kad mu do pesme nije
taj covek koji muski
i lumpuje i pije
(2x)
Taj covek koji sve daje
a sam ne trazi nista
taj covek u ovoj prici
na mene samo lici
(2x)
Taj covek koji ima
hiljadu ljudskih mana
taj covek kome vernost
nije najjaca strana
Taj covek koji sa smeskom
po cvecu i trnju gazi
taj covek u ovoj prici
na mene samo lici
(2x)
Taj covek sudbinu nosi
ko stari kofer u ruci
taj covek i ne haje
sto ljudi su ponekad vuci
(2x)
Taj covek kome je zivot
otkrio poslednju kartu
taj covek u ovoj prici
na mene samo lici
(2x)
