Umoran sam od zivota
Toma Zdravkovic · Other Songs - Toma Zdravkovic
umorno je srce moje, umorno
jer na njemu lezi rana, dugo vec
stare rane iz mladosti, sto su ostale
Ref.
Zatvorite sve kafane nek se moja dusa smiri
da zalecim srcu rane, sto me bole
da ne slusam violinu niti onu pesmu njenu
sto je nekad meni pevala
Hej kafano, muko
hej zivote, moja tugo
Hej kafano, muko
hej zivote, moja tugo
Necu svama da se druzim hej pijane moje noci
idite od mene sada cigani
neka ona drugom peva, kao pre
neka drugi o njoj sneva kao nekad ja
Ref.
