Cemu srce da se nada

Zaim Imamovic · Other Songs - Zaim Imamovic

Kad sam tebi svoju ljubav dao
onog divnog proljetnog uranka
nisam znao, nisam vjerovao
da ce doci do naseg rastanka

Ref.
Sad je kasno draga
minulo je sve
ostale su samo rane
od koji se mre

San o sreci sad je samo bajka
zalud placem kraj naseg bagrema
nebo mutno, tvrda zemlja majka
a sudbina ona srca nema

Ref.

Cemu vise srce da se nada
nit proljecu, nit suncu, nit cvijecu
dusa moja jezero je jada
nikada ga isplakati necu

Ref.
