Sirotica
Seki Turkovic · Other Songs - Seki Turkovic
u staroj kuci bez ikoga svog
tugu sam delio na pola sa njom
bila je radost zivota mog
Ref.
I sad je tamo kuca stara
bitku sa vremenom bije
ponekad prodjem, u prozor gledam
da mozda dosla nije
Volela je kad sunce zadje
pred starom kucom da budem sa njom
tada bi pricala kako zeli
da ima decu i novi dom
Ref.
Otisla je, ne rece kuda
i ne znam da li ce se vratiti ikad
prazna je ostala kuca stara
od kad je nema pust mi je grad
Ref.
