Brate moj

zelene grane, dve desne ruke
i nije znala sta nosi sudbina
za nju smo bili k'o zlatne jabuke
Ref.
Otkad te nema vreme je stalo
sunce ne sija ko sto je sjalo
i stalno padaju sumorne kise
i nebo place nema te vise, brate moj
Majka je dobra i nezna bila
ucila kako se sanja i voli
i oko nas se k'o brsljan svila
znala sve tajne, sve nase boli
Ref. 2x
Mladost je nasa bila ko bajka
dani su tekli bezbrizno srecno
i nismo slutili ni ja ni majka
da sreca nece trajati vecno
Ref. 2x
