Ruza
Zoran Kalezic · Other Songs - Zoran Kalezic
zora bistrom rosom mije
okupan u sunce susi
mirises u mojoj dusi
Ref.
Tvoj bi miris prepoznao medju ruza trista
pio bih ti rosu s lista
tvoj bi miris prepoznao medju ruza trista
nije svaka ruza ista
Leptir sapne svakom cvetu
najlepsi si ti na svetu
oko svakog cveta kruzi
al' zaspi na svojoj ruzi
Ref.
Ruzo moja, zeljo moja
al' mirisu nedra tvoja
mnoge ruze svesne nisu
lepota je u mirisu
Ref.
