Osmice (Pesma starom jaranu)

Toma Zdravkovic · Other Songs - Toma Zdravkovic

Kada podjes moj jarane
gore prema Trebevicu
s leve strane moj jarane
ima jedno divno mesto

De navrati poselami
Salku Kica, starog druga
pa mu kazi bolan bio
kakva me je snasla tuga

Ref.
Ta tuga je pregolema
moje srce davno svila
kao magla Romaniju
kao Drina Bosnu celu

Ispricaj mu moj jarane
da mi draga drugog ljubi
tesko mi je bolan bio
zbog nje mi se pamet gubi

De navrati poselami
Salku Kica, starog druga
pa mu kazi bolan bio
kakva me je snasla tuga

Ref.
