Bas me briga
Zehra Bajraktarevic · Other Songs - Zehra Bajraktarevic
kad na tebe ruke digne
sudbina, ta stara gospodja
sva u crnom
Trazit ces, milost od ruke
kojoj si, prsten od bruke stavio
prste do bola savio, isplavio
Ref. 2x
Ma bas me briga sta ce s tobom biti
kada patis osmijeh necu skriti
na tvoje rijeci sta me ovo snadje
ja cu se nasmijati jos sladje
Kad i tebe jednom stane
crna zora kad ti svane
i ostane u tvojim ocima
vjecnost cijelu
Molit ces, i sve glasa trazit ces
slamku spasa da ti dam
al' u tu zamku ne padam
potoni sam
Ref. 2x
