Da te covek
Milos Bojanic · Other Songs - Milos Bojanic
ko sa tobom ceka zore
blago onom, cije usne
na usnama tvojim gore
Ref.
Ej sto si lepa, ej sto si fina
lepsa si od ruze, od belog jasmina
da te covek na ranu privije
za tri dana zarasla bi rana
Da sam srecan, k'o sto nisam
tako lepu, da te gledam
umeo bih, da te cuvam
da te nikom, drugom ne dam
Ref.
Senka bih ti rado bio
da te pratim sa korakom
sunce bi ti jutrom slao
da te ljubim prvim zrakom
Ref.

The track's enduring popularity highlights the timeless appeal of its storytelling and the artist's ability to channel deep regional identity through his recordings.
