Zbogom tugo, zbogom radosti

Mile Kitic · Other Songs - Mile Kitic

Toplinu srca i ljetnog sunca
svila je tama i hladne kise
ova te jesen odnese drugom
nikad te necu ljubiti vise

Ref. 2x
Zbogom sunce mog najljepseg ljeta
zbogom sreco, zbogom mladosti
zbogom zeno nadanja i snova
zbogom moja tugo i radosti

S pjesmama duge provodim noci
stalno o tebi razmisljam mila
poleti meni golube bijeli
rasiri svoja vesela krila

Ref. 2x

Poslednje zbogom rekla je tiho
i ode suznih ociju sama
znao sam da ce jos dugo, dugo
vatra ljubavi gorjeti u nama

Ref. 2x

Zbogom zeno nadanja i snova
zbogom moja tugo i radosti
(2x)
