Kralj boema
Saban Saulic · Other Songs - Saban Saulic
kraj tvoje marame natopljene suzama
ni tvoj topli sareni sag
iako k'o beskucnik lutam
vezan duboko za kucni prag
Ref.
Jedino tebe nisam psovao
u ovom zivotu stradanja
volim te iako si rodila u meni
tuznog coveka, kralja propadanja
Jedina, nisam zaboravio
zelenu livadu kolevku malu
u kojoj si mene uspavljivala
iako sam srce u krcmi propio
ti si mi, majko, uvek prastala
Ref.
