Zeljo moja
Nikola Rokvic · Other Songs - Nikola Rokvic
a mi na pocetku
proklet, proklet bio ko ti rece
da si za to mlada i da imas kada
to je bilo nekada
Ref.
Zeljo moja, bas si dete
s koje li si ti planete
kad ti je sve ljudsko strano
ma, nije ti, nije, rano
Opusti se pa mi pridji
s oblaka na zemlju sidji
to ti je od Boga dano
ma, nije ti, nije, rano
Gledaj malo bolje oko sebe
i mladje od tebe
nocas s momcima se ljube tajno
i bas im je sjajno
nisi za to mlada, sada ili nikada
Ref.
Zeljo moja
