Tajna
Zehra Bajraktarevic · Other Songs - Zehra Bajraktarevic
sto odana sam bila k'o ptica
u kavezu ranjena
Moja krila tebi uvijek su bila
zastita i dobra vila
od uroka i poraza
Ref. 2x
Pridji blize, nemoj mi plakati
budi musko nemoj se kajati
priznaj mi da bila sam tajna
skrivena
Bila sam ti vjetar s dalekog istoka
bila sam ti zvuk gitare
a ti me, mili moj, izdade
Sad u mraku sobe pokajno stojis
kao prestupnik za oprostaj molis
tako slab i nemocan
Ref. 2x
