Pesma sirena
Zeljko Joksimovic · Other Songs - Zeljko Joksimovic
ti nestvarna i tiha
ti kao senka, obecana vetru
dubinu sanjas k'o sirena
Nevina i snena
od mesecevih mena do dugih sena
ti cekala si ljubav kao stena
i verovala moru svom kao kap
Ref.
Kao val, nosila je pesma preko mora
zavela je pucinu i zal
otela je danicu od zora
ranice i moju dusu ta pesma sirena
Ta nedostizna arija
je samo ceznja
prica bez pocetka i ostvarenja
dal' istina je i samo varka
Ta oseka i plina
more i daljina lepota njena
a ljubav iz dubina je tako verna
kao val, koja nema kraj
Kao val, nosila je pesma preko mora
na sve strane sveta cujem glas
Kao val, nosila je pesma preko mora
zapela je pucinu i zal
otela je danicu od zora
na sve strane sveta cujem glas
