Konje bile, konje vrane
Miroslav Skoro · Other Songs - Miroslav Skoro
bis sakriti bez zamirke Bogu
al' po noci kada sve utisa
od sicanja san na oci nece
Ref.
Ej, kakve sam konje im'o
konje bile, konje vrane
konje bile, konje vrane
i zerave razigrane
Upalite onaj fenjer stari
neka svitli dok zora ne svane
neka u njem' gore uspomene
na ljubavi na minule dane
Ref.
Sve sam prodo, rastepo imanje
sto ga za me stari dido smogo
da bi mogo platit lumpovanje
nebi l' srcu pijan pomoc mogo
Ref.
Ej, kakva sam kola im'o
za momacke lude dane
ostala mi kraj salasa
ispod duda kraj putasa
ostala mi kraj salasa
pale na njih suve grane
Ej, kakve sam konje im'o
Konje bile, konje vrane
