Nazdravite al' bez mene
Rade Lackovic · Other Songs - Rade Lackovic
a hteo sam zivot svoj da dam
za drugove sto drugovi nisu
za nju kojoj nisam potreban
Tek sad shvatam reci oca svoga
nesta para, nesta i drugara
i ne prastaj zenama na suze
one su ti kraljice prevara
Ref.
Nazdravite, al' bez mene
svi za tugu moju
nazdravite s' mojom bivsom
kad ste svi na broju
Bio sam vam dobar svima
kao i zeni toj
ako vam je bilo malo
evo vam zivot moj
Nikome ja ne verujem vise
a dugo sam verovao sve
sada od vas trazim samo jedno
kazite joj ziv sam i bez nje
Ref. 2x
