Covek od soli
Ruzica Cavic · Other Songs - Ruzica Cavic
gde ziveti bih htela
ima jedan svet
gde reci su dela
U tom' svetu zivi
covek od soli
sjajem sunca rodjen
kamen kojeg volim
Iz njega cujem glas bez reci
slutim snagu golog tela
ja slaba, svakodnevna
kroz igru reci sve bih htela
Ref.
Volis me nezno
znam, to si ti
tako mi trebas
trebas mi ti
U jednom trenu sve bih htela
kroz igru reci, a reci su dela
oprosti, molim te
vrati me svetu mom'
Ref. 2x
