Dete ulice
Sako Polumenta · Other Songs - Sako Polumenta
rano dodje zima, kad joj vreme nije
ulicama dugim bosonogo dete
samo sa zivotom tesku bitku bije
Pitam ga gde zivi, odgovora nema
ulica mu majka, isto kao nekad meni
uspomene zive, jos su sve na broju
ja u njemu vidim proslost svoju
Srce mi se cepa i suze mi krecu
jer znam da ce svako svojim putem poci
molim te, zivote, podari mu srecu
pomognes li njemu, meni ces pomoci
