Ruza
Dino Merlin · Other Songs - Dino Merlin
Probudila me tuga na sabah
umjesto tvoje ruke
kao da sam ronio na dah
divljim vodama
Vrelo ljeto, vreli dan, ti i ja
jedna divna melodija
Djecak na travi bi da skoci
u zoru vremena
u te tvoje blage oci
boje kestena
I to cudo od svih cuda u svemiru
neke slike nikada ne umiru
Ref. 2x
U svakoj basti raste po jedna ruza
i svako ima nekog da mu ruke pruza
i ja imam tebe, ruzo moja
tebe jednu, sto nespokoja
Ref. 2x
