Zehra Bajraktarevic · Other Songs - Zehra Bajraktarevic
od suza bi sva nabujala
kad bi Miljacka znala pricati
od tuge bi njema mogla postati
Ref.
Kraj te rijeke godinama
ljubili se mi, ljubili se mi
a sad ona gleda druge
koje grlis ti
kraj te rijeke godinama
ljubili se mi, ljubili se mi
a sad ona gleda druge
koje, koje grlis ti
Kad bi Miljacka srce imala
od bola bi ona umrla
kad bi Miljacka znala pjevati
njena bi te pjesma htjela prokleti
Ref.
