Ljubavi, zasto nisi vecna

ja sam ti verovala da je tako
sada si s drugom srecan
i ne zalis sto mome tuznom
srcu nije lako
Ref.
Ljubavi, ljubavi
zasto nisi vecna
o majko sto me rodi
kad nisam srecna
Ja sam te zavolela dusom svojom
da sve ce prohujati nisam znala
tuga je obavila moje noci
jer tebi svoju mladost ja sam dala
Ref.
Ljubav je nasa prosla kao sena
a ja sam zeljna bila ljubav dati
cemu sad uspomene kad te nema
kad moje jadno srce tesko pati
Ref.
