Eurovision Song Contest · Other Songs - Eurovision Song Contest
Ni sunca nisam vidio
Tebe čekao
Bog te je meni poslao
Od srca otkinuo svog
Da bi živio
I čekao da ti meni daš
ÄŒudo ljubavi
Chorus:
I draga i draga
Suze u pamuk pretvaraš
umorne oči odmaraš
začaraš
I lijepa i sveta
Vodu u vino pretvaraš
Ti se moliš za sve nas
Tena , Tena
Lijepa Tena
