Cemu srce da se nada

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.
