Sta ce mi zivot

kad je nema majko
jer drugu ljubav
ne zelim da imam
Sanjam je sanjam
skoro svake noci
ona je tu u srcu mom
Sanjam je majko
skoro svake noci
ona je tu
u srcu mom
Ref. 2x
Nocas mi srce pati
nocas me dusa boli
tesko je kad se voli
kad ostanes sam
Jesen je tuzna
vec odavno dosla
uzalud cekam
uzalud se nadam
O majko moja
koliko je volim
ona je tu
u srcu mom
(2x)
Ref. 2x
