Jedna lasta ne cini prolece

a ni jesen jedan cvet uveli
i tek sada, kad se rastadosmo
ja se pitam zasto smo se sreli
Ref.
Sve prolazi i nestaje
sve je vise uspomena
spomenari kad pozute
tad i usne tuzno cute
Jedna lasta ne cini prolece
al' u srcu zivi jedna zena
zbog koje mi vecito ostade
jedna bolna suza sakrivena
Ref.
Jedna lasta ne cini prolece
jedna ljubav ulepsa mi dane
a ljubav je nemirna k'o lasta
ode, dodje, pa opet nestane
Ref.
Jedna lasta ne cini prolece

Its enduring popularity reflects the universal themes of unrequited love and seasonal transition explored within the recording, cementing Saulic's legacy as a pivotal figure in the genre's history.
