Duge jesenje kise
Bata Zdravkovic · Other Songs - Bata Zdravkovic
a vetar lisce ulicom nosi
jesen je tuzna ljubavi moja
jer tebe nocas neznanac prosi
Ref. 2x
Duge jesenje kise
a tebe drugom daju
mi srecni nikad vise
u istom zagrljaju
Iz tvoga doma pesma se cuje
majka te tvoja za drugog sprema
hteo bi svoju dusu da smirim
al' mira vise za mene nema
Ref. 2x
Koracam dalje ka svome domu
svirace stare vise ne cujem
vetar mi suze na licu ledi
dok tebe jutros ja oplakujem
Ref. 2x
