Sumi, sumi javore
Miroslav Skoro · Other Songs - Miroslav Skoro
na njoj drvo javora
ono tuzno pricu zna
o nesretna srca dva
Ref. 2x
Sumi, sumi javore
neka grane govore
pa nek cuje zemlja sva
kako ljubav bolit zna
Al' se jednom dogodi
dragi dragoj govori
ja sad moram otici
al' cu ti se vratiti
Ref. 2x
Podno vita javora
ona dragog cekala
puno ljeta proteklo
on se nije vratio
Ref. 2x
