Skela
Vera Matovic · Other Songs - Vera Matovic
celu Srbiju, Srbiju
sve do Drine da ugledam
mog deliju, deliju
A kad tamo pokvarena skela
da dragog vidim osta' pusta zelja
ko te samo izmislio skelo
da ljubim hocu moje jagnje belo
Popravite ljudi skelu
hitno, najhitnije
da najlepse oci vidim
eh da mi je, da mi je
Muke moje, skela dusu vadi
da mozda dragi drugoj kosu gladi
muke moje, skela dusu ubi
da mozda dragi drugoj usne ljubi
Dobri ljudi preko Drine
mom draganu recite
da ga cekam s ove strane
dok skelu ne poprave
Pa kad vidi moju kosu plavu
on preplivace i Drinu i Savu
a kad dodje ljubav ce da bude
ma sve od Cacka pa do Banjaluke
