Selo moje, lepse od Pariza

Rade Jorovic · Other Songs - Rade Jorovic

Nakrivicu kapu, rodila mi njiva
al' ce baca slatko zimus da uziva
stignu ruke seljacke pos'o da urade
stignu svoju seljancicu po kosi da glade

Ref. 2x
Selo moje, lepse od Pariza
lepo iz daleka, jos lepse iz bliza
na kuci se odzak pusi
na tavanu meso susi
ja sam seljak u srcu i dusi

Cim zapocne vetar obraze da sece
ja prsutu seckam kasno do uvece
grejem meku rakiju na sred ognjista
ljubim svoju seljancicu i ne radim nista

Ref.

Jos ustao nisam, a moje seljance
zamirise kucu mirisom pogace
sinoc su mi prsti njenom kosom prosli
bujaju joj bele grudi ko potoci nadosli

Ref.

Selo moje, lepse od Pariza
