Popotnik
Lojze Slak · Other Songs - Lojze Slak
Pojdi naprej vedno naprej popotnik,
tvoja gre pot včasih navzgor pa tudi navzdol,
pojdi naprej vedno naprej za soncem,
našel boš vse, kar si nekoč zaman iskal.
Pojdi naprej vedno naprej za soncem,
našel boš vse, kar si nekoč zaman iskal.
Saj to življenje vendar je lepo, če tudi
včasih je zares težko, pozabi vse te
črne dneve, pesem zapoj in lažje ti bo.
Tvoj bo korak vse bo lahak popotnik,
ko boš spoznal da vsak moj dan ti nekaj bo dal,
vzemi prav vse, kar daje ti živlenje,
kar te teži vse kmalu bo zabrisal čas.
Vzemi prav vse kar daje ti življenje,
kar te teži vse kmalu bo zabrisal čas.
