Lepotice grada
Saban Saulic · Other Songs - Saban Saulic
gde je ona mladost i ona lepota
Polako dolaze, odlaze jeseni i leta
venes ko pupoljak od najlepseg cveta
nekada si bila lepotica grada
sredovecna zena ti si, ti si sada
Ref. 2x
Suze su mi posle, kad te juce videh
gde je ona mladost i ona lepota
bilo mi je zao, sto je zivot zao
lepotice grada iz nasih vremena
sredovecna zeno, sliko uramljena
Secas se, voleh te beskrajno
a uzalud bese
ruke nekog drugog meni te uzese
Sretosmo se sada, sa kosama sedim
ova nova ljubav da li vise vredi
Ref. 2x
