Jeska od jubavi
Oliver Dragojevic · Other Songs - Oliver Dragojevic
koju bacila si ti
ovo je ludo srce moje moralo probati
prolazim kroz oluje otkada otisla si
kao mornar bez mora
ja sam bez jubavi
Tu, na moju dusu tuga mrizu bacila
u dubine odnila pa mi nima svitla
koje sja iz oka tvog
tu, za svoju dusu
s morem bol podilicu
s galebima cekacu
mozda ce te plima
ostavit prid vratima srca mog
Jeska od ljubavi
