Crna vrana

Zeljko Samardzic · Other Songs - Zeljko Samardzic

Kazu da je greh
to sto tudje ljubim
svako bi se drugi
sakrio od stida

A sudbina je jedna
gresna ili smesna
jedino je ljubav
slabost moga zida

Ref.
Crna vrana zna
za sve sam oko sebe
al ne dam da je diras
zlobni svete mali

Jer ja nikada ne bi
pored nje ni bio
da imao sam ono
sve ono sto mi fali

Svakim danom dusa
trazi da te kradem
jer ti i ja smo samo
jednom drugom spas

I trazili se ni bi
nikad ovim svetom
da imali smo ljubav
u onima kraj nas

Ref.

Kad mi telo sa njom leze
moje strasti s' tobom beze
jer ti ko da si zena
moga nespokoja

I bez tebe kada skitam
uvek isto zivot pitam
da bi te voleo ovoliko
ovoliko da si moja

Ref. 2x
