Mlad sam bio
Mahir Burekovic · Other Songs - Mahir Burekovic
kad jos nisam znao sta je tuga
zivot mi je poklonio tebe
pravu zenu za zivotnog druga
Ref.
Mlad sam bio, nisam znao
godine mi to otkrise
da mladost, ljubav pravu
jednom imas i nikad vise
U mladosti to mi malo bese
od zivota mnogo sam zeleo
lutao sam, godine su prosle
takvu zenu vise nisam sreo
Ref.
I moji me pitaju za tebe
sta je s' tobom i zasto te nema
a ja cutim, od istine bezim
jer si davno vec udata zena
Refe.
