Ostrvo tuge
Selma Bajrami · Other Songs - Selma Bajrami
kada pod kozu mi udjes
i zato molim te idi
pr'je nego moje postane tudje
Ranjena hiljadu puta
u ljubav vjerujem malo
i sebe najmanje dajem
i kad mi je najvise stalo
Ref.
Ne bih prezivjela
da mi odes kad te zavolim
u moru ljubavi
ja uvijek ostrvo tuge nalazim
Ne bih prezivjela
da te nemam kad na tebe naviknem
na mome ostrvu tuge
gdje nema mjesta za druge, ostajem
Polako gubim kontrolu
vec si mi previse blizu
davno sam prosla tu skolu
da budem tek jos jedna u nizu
Ranjena hiljadu puta
u ljubav vjerujem malo
i sebe najmanje dajem
i kad mi je najvise stalo
Ref. 2x
