Dodji mi Dragane (duet Lepa Lukic)
Mira Vasiljevic · Other Songs - Mira Vasiljevic
svoga dragog ja sam dozivala
da mu kazem svoje teske jade
gorki zivot sto mi ih zadade
Ref. 2x
Dodji mi Dragane, dodji mi jarane
cekacu te dok zora ne svane
Dodji dragi u basticu moju
otkricu ti tada dusu svoju
u samoci tuga je golema
moj Dragane sto te davno nema
Ref. 2x
Venem sama suza suzu stize
moj Dragane sto mi nisi blize
zasto moju kapiju prolazis
zasto drugoj pod prozor odlazis
Ref. 2x
