Umrijet' cu mlada
Hajrija Gegaj · Other Songs - Hajrija Gegaj
mladost mi vene
odlazis drugoj
ostavljas mene
Ref. 2x
Umrijet' cu mlada, ostaces ziv
pricaces drugim da nisi kriv
umrijet' cu mlada, osjecam to
srecu si moju odnio njoj
Nemirna dusa
ptica bez krila
nekad sam gnijezdo
sa tobom vila
Ref. 2x
Zivot bez srece
umire nada
i ja cu dragi
zbog tebe mlada
Ref. 2x
