Kada pjevam suze teku
Miso Kovac · Other Songs - Miso Kovac
i zivot sav ide za njom
jer pamet ni srce ne slusa
ja zivim za pjesmu i lom
Pod rukom ja nosim gitaru
da s ljudima podijelim bol
i ljubav zaboravim staru
jer drugi je sada sa njom
Ref. 2x
Ja kad pjevam suze teku
i niz lice same krenu
ma neka teku, neka peku
volio sam ja tu zenu
Kada pjevam suze teku
