Esma

Zdravko Colic · Other Songs - Zdravko Colic

Otvorim prozore
skoro svaki put
cujem neko lijepo pjeva
dok je mjesec zut

Uvijek se ponovi
i uvijek se zna
k'o da neko plete
note od jave i sna

Ref.
Kakva je to pjesma
sto se cuje svud
a sa neba mjesecina
obasjava put

Kakva je to pjesma
sto se cuje svud
to je pjeva Esma
zbog nje ja sam lud
to je moja Esma
zbog nje ja sam lud

I da sam nesretan
ti bi sprijecila
moje srce svojim
glasom bi izlijecila

Ref. 2x

(Pjesma, pjesma) O, Esma
(pjesma, pjesma) moja Esma
(pjesma, pjesma) o, Esma
