Balkanski vetrovi
Neda Ukraden · Other Songs - Neda Ukraden
iste zelje, iste godine
imali smo istu reku
ostale nam samo obale
Na sve cet'ri strane sveta
odvela nas ruka sudbine
da li i vas u grudima stegne
kad se mene setite
A juce jos bili smo mi
Ref. 2x
Najbolji drugovi, gde ste se izgubili
da li jos pevate pesme nase mladosti
najbolji drugovi, gde su nas oduvali
ovi balkanski vetrovi
Voleli smo ista polja
iste sume, iste drumove
grejalo nas isto sunce
al' nam vreme sakri tragove
Ref. 2x
