Pukni zemljo
Vesna Zmijanac · Other Songs - Vesna Zmijanac
previse je zalosti u meni
kao da sam mrtvom zvezdom vodjena
bol mi brat a tuga sestra rodjena
Ref. 2x
Zivim zivot ostavljene zene
sve se lepo otima od mene
puknji zemljo trag svoj da sakrijem
kao da me nikad bilo nije
Kani suzo, planine pokreni
duni vetre, more nek se pjeni
da se dusa zaborava napije
pa da celom svetu kazem sta mi je
Ref. 2x
