Hej, covece
Nada Obric · Other Songs - Nada Obric
jos te tuga slama
i mene su ostavljali
pa i sad sam sama
Tebe draga napustila
a moj dragi mene
znam da nije lako srcu
kada zalud vene
Ref. 2x
Dodji, da se tjesimo
samoca je teska
sreca nam se osmehuje
hajde, zivot na nas ceka
Hej, covjece, usamljeni
prolaze nam dani
sto je proslo vratit neces
za to malo stani
Stani malo, svrati malo
bolje ce ti biti
reci meni, sta te muci
zasto moras kriti
Ref. 2x
