Pesma o Novom Sadu
Zvonko Bogdan · Other Songs - Zvonko Bogdan
i svaki ima neki svoj plam
mozda se varam il' mi se sni
ti imas neke posebne cini
I bilo gde da sam, i bilo kad
pomislim cesto na rodno grad
o tebi pevam najdrazi grade
moj mali Novi Sade
I pogled nocu sa Varadina
to nije isto sto misle ljudi
jer tiha pesma sa malo vina
u meni pravi osecaj budi
Dunavom plovi tambure zvuk
moje ravnice ponos i drug
o tebi pricam najdrazi grade
moj mali Novi Sade
Ulica starih sve manje ima
velike kuce sad prave hlad
al' nije vazno, zivot se menja
i ti ces vecno ostati mlad
Docekaj svakog, al' budi moj
a ja cu uvek ostati tvoj
o tebi pevam
moj mali Novi Sade
