Maslinasto zelena

kao zica na gitari
e, a sto
nocas zvijezde padalice
boluju od nesanice
e, a sto
Zato sto namiguje i
mjesec od hartije
sve je kao i prije
a opet drugacije
Ne sanjam te vise rado
al' te sanjam opet cesto
e, a sto
sanjam, lete kao ptice
tvoje noge plesalice
e, a sto
Jer je u mom prozoru
suskala do u zoru
jedna grana zelena
i na grani maslina
Ref.
Maslinasto zelena
to me podsjeca
onda kad sam bio vojnik
kako si me voljela
tvoja maslinasto zelena
to me podsjeca
onda kad sam bio vojnik
kako si me voljela
Ref.
Tvoja maslinasto zelena
to me podsjeca
onda kad sam bio vojnik
kako si me voljela
