Smejem se i kad mi je najteze
Mileta Markovic · Other Songs - Mileta Markovic
lice mi je srecno, srce srecno nije
ti si drugog srela, a ja drugu sreo
sad se lazno smesim, a plakat' bi' hteo
Ref.
Smejem se kad mi je najteze
kada bih plakati hteo
zivim ljubavi zbog toga
da bih te ponovo sreo
Misle da sam srecan svi koji me znaju
ali moje boli ljudi ne poznaju
srce mi je bez tebe probodeno macem
kad se smejem, tada ujedno i placem
Ref.
Snage vise nemam, osmeh me izdaje
lazna sreca ne moze vecito da traje
opet cu te naci i pred tebe stati
il' me ljubi, il' ostavi, moje boli skrati
Ref.
