Selma i Nazif

Nazif Gljiva · Other Songs - Nazif Gljiva

Dal ti tuga srce slama
il' si sretna Selma ti
il' jos uvijek tebe zovu
iz Makarske valovi

Nije ljubav pala s' marsa
Makarska je samo farsa
ja sam sretna dok on pliva
jel samnom je Nazif Gljiva

Selma spava, Zoka place
Mirko trazi tanga gace

Moj Nazife sto si lud
uvenuce i tvoj dud

Nije vazno draga seko
sve dok Nazif pije mljeko

Moj Nazife sto si lud
uvenuce i tvoj dud
