Ko bisere suze lijem
Sinan Sakic · Other Songs - Sinan Sakic
sada cvetas drugom
nekad sam te zvao sreco
a sada te zovem tugo
Ref.
Ko bisere suze lijem
dok sapucem ime tvoje
jos na tebe sve me seca
jos te voli srce moje
Ti cvete moj sto
drugom krasis dvore
bez tebe su noci tuzne
bez tebe su puste zore
Ko bisere suze lijem
