Casa gorkih suza
Slavko Perovic · Other Songs - Slavko Perovic
za nasu ljubav, za nasu srecu
ti nisi ubrala rosu suza
ti nisi htela ljubav vecu
Ref.
Aj, aj, aj, aj
aj, aj, aj, aj
Tebi sam, draga, zivot dao
tebi sam dao sve dane svoje
i nikad, nikad nisam znao
kol'ko te voli srce moje
Ref.
Kad jednom budes posla drugom
seti se tada pesme moje
i uzmi casu gorkih suza
jer samo to jos imam svoje
Ref.
