Djurdjija

Nedzad Salkovic · Other Songs - Nedzad Salkovic

Sretnete li curu u sokaku mome
recite joj da ne ide s drugim
recite joj da sna nemam
ni danima ni nocima dugim

Ref. 2x
Djurdjija, cvijet si sto se voli
Djurdjija, srce te jos moli
zavoli me Djurdja, duso, zavoli

Sinoc sam te gled'o, ko ruza si bila
na kojoj se kapi rose zlate
ime sam ti saputao
i danima jos mislicu na te

Ref. 2x

Ostavi se srebra, nakita i zlata
sto ti drugi bogatiji nudi
uzmi mene sirotana
sirotana sto za tobom zudi

Ref. 2x
