Zavicajna pesma

Voleo bih da sam mesec
da ti bujne pomilujem grudi
eh sto nisam pesma zavicajna
da te jutrom usnulu probudim

Voleo bih da sam ruza
da ti dusu mirisom opijem
eh sto nisam pesma tugovanka
oko tvoga srca da se snijem

Voleo bih da sam izvor
da ti lice usnulo umivam
eh sto nisam sunce na zaranku
da na tvojim nedrima pocivam
