Zlatni medaljon
Rade Petrovic · Other Songs - Rade Petrovic
svetluca se medaljon od zlata
na njemu je kad sam ti ga dao
stari zlatar ruzu urezao
Ref.
Sad kad srce mora sve bolom da plati
verenicki poklon baci il' mi vrati
dok te nezno grle neke ruke druge
da zlatni medaljon ne tamni od tuge
Ispod ruze od zlatnoga lika
stajala je nekad moja slika
sakrivena u bisernom nizu
da tvom srcu bude uvek blizu
Ref.
Gradio sam srecu srcu tvome
sada znam da nisam im'o kome
moj medaljon u dnu tvojih grudi
tudja ruka sad stiti od studi
Ref.
