Ziveli

Saban Saulic · Other Songs - Saban Saulic

Ne daj nocas da te proslost boli
pusti srce da ljubi kog' voli
sta je bilo nije vazno
zagrli me opet snazno, zagrli me opet snazno

Ref.
Ova noc nek' bude nasa
neka zvoni zlatna casa
ziveli dok se staro vino topi
dok me greju tvoje oci
ova noc nek' bude nasa

Ima dana za nas nije kasno
opet zelim da me volis strasno
daj mi samo malo zara
rodice se ljubav stara, rodice se ljubav stara

Ref.

Nemoj nocas da mi kazes zbogom
lepo mi je u ljubavi s tobom
nek' nam srca vatrom gore
volecu te sve do zore, volecu te sve do zore

Ref.
