Kud se zuris, hej zivote
Rade Petrovic · Other Songs - Rade Petrovic
stani malo kad te molim
sto odnosis moju mladost
kad znas da je silno volim
Ref. 2x
Ti prolazis i odnosis
ljubav, srecu i veselje
stani malo, hej zivote
da ispunim svoje zelje
Kad se samo jednom zivi
sto se zuris, hej zivote
zao mi je da ne vidim
u prirodi sve lepote
Ref. 2x
Kad bi mog'o da sacekas
da godina koja prodje
da prozivim u mladosti
da mi starost jos ne dodje
Ref. 2x
