Devojka u crnom

Ritam Nereda · Other Songs - Ritam Nereda

Ti setas sama u mrkloj noci
i pitas se dal' ce doci
da l' ce poneti ono sto trazis
da li za njega joz uvek vazis

Otis'o je, otis'o
njega vise nema
uzeo ti je mladost
dok si bila slepa

Sada placi sada tuguj
moraces da trpis
ponos ti je sada slomljen
moraces da cutis

Al' njega nema vec pola sata
ljudi prolaze pored tebe
stojis sama gore na uglu
shvatas i odlazis, devojko u crnom

Shvatila si, shvatila
uzeo ti je mladost
shvatila si, shvatila
uzeo ti je sve

Otisla si bespovratno
otisla si zauvek
ovaj grad i ovaj covek
videti te vise nece

Sada drugacije mislis i gledas na sve
i nikom ne das da te dira k'o pre
bila si kurva za ulicne pse
ti nisi ono, da, sto si bila pre

Devojka u crnom
bila si i ostaces
devojka u crnom
sada mrzis sve

Devojka u crnom
pokreces se i odlazis
devojka u crnom
zauvek za sve
