Majko moja
Zlata Petrovic · Other Songs - Zlata Petrovic
Rodila me jedna stara
bez bogatstva i bez para
to je zena srca jaka
to je, ljudi, moja majka
Ref. 2x
Majko moja
da te kunem necu ja
Bogu cu se moliti
da sto duze zivis ti
Ulicom smo koracale
pred izlogom zastajale
u izlogu lutka mala
da je kupi nema para
Ref. 2x
Niz obraz joj suza tece
pa mi ona nezno rece
nemoj kceri tugovati
Bog ce nama srecu dati
