Katarina

Zanko Rasic · Other Songs - Zanko Rasic

Katarina su je zvali
pjegav imala je nos
kosa crvena i duga
stari krasila je most

Nudila je svoju ljubav
osmijeh lijep za jednu noc
svi su zeljeli da kupe
malo njeznosti od nje

Ref.
Za jednu noc dao bih citav zivot svoj
samo da ljubim oci njene
samo da budem kraj nje
zivote moj, zar nisam mogao da volim
kad nemah novaca da kupim
cak ni poljubac njen za neki gros
o zivote moj

Mnoge godine su prosle
sjaj bogatstva nosim njoj
da mi pruzi svoju ljubav
bar za jednu ludu noc

Al' nje tamo vise nema
tiho place stari most
Katarine vise nema
rijeka odnijela je nju

Ref.
