Okitite sve svatove
Vera Matovic · Other Songs - Vera Matovic
prepuno je srce moje
sa ponosom majka ceka
da svatove primi svoje
Ref. 2x
Zaigrajte, zapevajte
iznesite crnog vina
okitite sve svatove
danas majka zeni sina
Kada gosti nasi dodju
otvorite sve kapije
da pred kucom mladozenje
svadbeno se kolo vije
Ref. 2x
Ja cu kolo da povedem
s' prijom da se razveselim
srce mi je razigrano
ovaj dan vec dugo zelim
Ref. 2x
