Stariji covek
Mina · Other Songs - Mina
i zelis iz daleka
ne znas da moje srce
bas takvog ceka
Pogled ti luta
i k'o da mi se zali
a to me pali
a to me pali
Ref. 2x
Sta cekas vise stariji si covek
prozivi bar ostatak svog zivota
tvoj dodir hocu necu bilo ciji
briga me sto si ti od mene stariji
Sta je sa tobom
nisi ti takav bio
ispod kaputa
vrelo si srce krio
Mnoge su zene
zbog tebe nisko pale
za noc sa tobom
mladost bi dale
