Pada prasina
Vesna Zmijanac · Other Songs - Vesna Zmijanac
da mi tugu pobedi
nigde nikoga da te nasledi
a da mene povredi
Ref.
Pada prasina kao sudbina
skriva sjaj bedi nasih godina
pada prasina prekila je sve
al' na tebe nikad pasti ne moze
Zemlja nicija tuga svacija
takva sam ti eto ja
mrzim korake, sto mi dolaze
znam da samo prolaze
Ref.
Nasi drugovi, nasi kumovi
tudju decu krstili
s naseg izvora zedni orlovi
bistru vodu popili
Ref.
