Teska je noc

zelja jutro prosvitli
sanja san, lipi san
od jubavi zamantan
al' je puka zivot
oce da san sam
Dvi, tri rici kazem
da mi dusu izlici
da su ti koraci
na skalama ostali
od mog srca
tili ili ne tili
Ref.
Teska je noc, grub je dan
coviku kad, sta sam ja
ne cuje se srca stih ni tilil
svakog od nas srica
jednom ostavi
to je tako, tili ili ne tili
Zna li, zna li onaj
kome sada ides ti
i ja san disa sve
sta tebe sve taklo je
al' se nije, nije
dalo od mene
Ref. 2x
