Ostavljena zena
Vesna Zmijanac · Other Songs - Vesna Zmijanac
cuvajuci tebe kao tudju srecu
sada u samoci ostah neutesna
zelim da ne placem, al' uspeti necu
Ref.
Cuvala sam tudju srecu
gledala u sunce njeno
a ona mi sada kaze
tuguj, tuguj ostavljena zeno
Zajednickom cilju sa tobom sam posla
i htela sam ici dok imamo moci
al' je druga zena kao senka dosla
senka sto mi dane pretvori u noci
Ref.
Utehu sam bolnu u snovima nasla
jer meni bez tebe svaki dan je kraci
srecu pored tebe ja nisam pronasla
al' postoji covek s kim cu je pronaci
Ref.
