Nije nam bilo sudjeno

Treperi mi srce ponekad tiho
u mutne i p'jane gorke sate
Boze moj, sto bih sve mogao dati
za neke trenutke da mi se vrate
Ref.
Nije nam bilo sudjeno
u mladosti nasoj ranoj
al' mozda ipak se nadjemo
u ljetu il' jeseni zlatnoj
I nisam znao, vjeruj mi
da ljubav je kao plima
i kako vrijeme prolazi
sve vise u meni te ima
u mutne i p'jane gorke sate
Boze moj, sto bih sve mogao dati
za neke trenutke da mi se vrate
Ref.
Nije nam bilo sudjeno
u mladosti nasoj ranoj
al' mozda ipak se nadjemo
u ljetu il' jeseni zlatnoj
I nisam znao, vjeruj mi
da ljubav je kao plima
i kako vrijeme prolazi
sve vise u meni te ima
Nije nam bilo sudjeno
