Melanholija

Stize me stara
melanholija, melanholija
da si tu pa da popravis
to sto je druga pokvarila

Da si tu, da si tu pa da zagrijes
to sto je druga hladila
ej, samo da si tu
i da ne spominjes nju

Ref.
Sakrij u srcu mjesto za mene
kada svijes gnijezdo ko sve dobre zene
jednom kada ostarim
ja bih tu da boravim

Da si me, bogdo
iz ogledala nekad gledala
vidjela bi to malo razvrata
u par navrata

Malo ludorije, ali sve je to bilo
bez tvoje carolije
ej, samo da si tu
i da ne spominjes nju

Ref.
