Nezna svila na tebi se beli
Zoran Jovanovic · Other Songs - Zoran Jovanovic
Kao druga svog, o, jedina moja
zvala si me, dosao sam i ja
svatovima ne znam broja
oko tebe, najmilija
Ref.
Nezna svila na tebi se beli
on je kraj tebe, vi ste se uzeli
sanjam ovo vec godinu sestu
al' ja da budem na njegovom mestu
Mene ozbiljno ti shvatala nisi
ali njemu verovala ti si
vas je roman prica prava
nas se tuzno zavrsava
Ref.
Evo idem ja do tebe, do njega
srcu to je teze sad od svega
cestitka ce kratka biti
stisak ruke i srecno ti
