Ljepa damo
Vinko Brnada · Other Songs - Vinko Brnada
za stolom je bila sama
na trenutak htjedoh cuti
kako pjeva ljepa dama
Ref. 2x
Upoznah je jedne noci
od tog' casa nemam mira
jos i danas njena pjesma
u mom' srcu tiho svira
Ne mozemo biti skupa
istog' casa to sam znao
ja znam samo da me voli
i zato mi nije zao
Ref. 2x
U drustvu smo skupa bili
sve do one zadnje noci
sjecanje mi osta samo
znam nikada nece doci
Ref. 2x
