Nema vise druga mog'

Nikola Rokvic · Other Songs - Nikola Rokvic

Nema vise druga mog'
moga druga jedinog'
nema vise, uzeo ga Bog

Nikad' vise ja i ti
necemo se opiti
lepe zene kuci voditi

Ref.
Pita vazduh jesenji
pita vetar severni
pitaju me, druze, gde si ti

Tu je, ja ih lazem, znaj
nema mome drugu kraj
ova pesma moj je oprostaj
(2x)

S' kim da tugu podelim
gde si, druze, i sa kim'
kum da budes kad' se ozenim

Neki glas mi govori
novog' druga imas ti
a za mene ti si poslednji

Ref.

Ova pesma nije hit
ova pesma moj je krik
ja ti njome dizem spomenik

Jer, sve na tebe seca sad'
casa vina, Beograd
mrzim ono "ako umrem mlad"

Ref.
