Sestra
Semir Ceric · Other Songs - Semir Ceric
ja ne priznajem
samo oko srca kad se sveze
Kada dodju sretni dani
hocu vezu iz ljubavi
al' ta veza neces biti ti
Ref.
Jedna bi me kupila
druga bi me prodala
a ti me ko sestra pazila
Zasto da te povrijedim
ili da ti od glumim
kao sestru ja te zavoli
ljubav s tobom necu probati
Ljubav ima brata
ja ga poznajem
ime mu je ponos
pa me veze
Da tumaram putevima
da do srece dodjem teze
a ta sreca neces biti ti
Ref.
