Tatina cerka

Joca Stevanovic · Other Songs - Joca Stevanovic

Sreca je i meni
otvorila vrata
srce mi je puno
postao sam tata

Rodila si cerku
zeno moja mila
sto godina zdrava
i ziva nam bila

Ref.
Tatina cerko
jabuko od zlata
najvise na svetu
tebe voli tata

Budi mi zdrava
vesela i mila
pozlaticu majku
sto te je rodila

Rodila se cerka
vrednija od zlata
jedva cekam kad ce
da mi kaze tata

Lijepa je i ljupka
kao njena majka
blago onoj kuci
gde ce biti snajka

Ref.

Oko klota vec se
jedan momak vije
puska ce da radi
ako dobar nije

Mora biti zlatan
da cera ne pati
inace ce prija
tati sve da plati

Ref.
