Sto stari ljudi kazu
Ivana Kovac · Other Songs - Ivana Kovac
koga vole, cije ruke zele
radilo se sto stariji kazu
radilo se sto stariji vele
Nije htio al' je rekao zbogom
morao je u dvore njene
nase snove prodao mu otac
za dva jutra neobradjene zemlje
Ne daj majko da me itko vidi
za bol moju nitko nece znati
sve dok jednom ne sretnu se negdje
moje suze i njegovi svati
