Sta je ljubav
Vesna Zmijanac · Other Songs - Vesna Zmijanac
kada nisi pored mene ti
sta su noci i bez tebe san
sta je jutro i bez tebe dan
To je tuga moja ljubavi
Sta je ljubav, moja ljubavi
tebe nema da te zagrlim
sta je mladost kad si uvek sam
kako mi je, to ja samo znam
To je tuga moja ljubavi
Sta je ljubav, moja ljubavi
kada ceznja srce zavodi
sta je radost htela bih da znam
sta je zivot, kome pripadam
To je tuga moja ljubavi
Sta je ljubav
