Ruza, ruzica
Karolina Goceva · Other Songs - Karolina Goceva
na gradive, na srce zastana
Nikoj, nikoj da ne znae
nikoj da ne, ne doznae
Gori srce, neka izgori
izgori, neka preboli
osvetli nebo sto ne pokriva
osvetli nokta kaj me sokriva
Ref.
Ako mene ne ljubi
tvojto lice neverno
mene ruza, ruzica
lice ke mi vene
I samo pesna ostane
da ispeam, niz nea isplacam
Nikoj, nikoj da ne znae
nikoj da ne me doznae
nikoj, nikoj da ne znae
za tebe nikoj da ne doznae
Letaj mi pesno visoko
gledaj mi, gledaj daleku
ah, tie oci crna maslina
ah, toa vino sto me opiva
Ref.
I ako mene ne gledam
kraj druga, ako soluvam
mene ruza, ruzica
pesna dusa ke mi ne kuva
Ruza, ruzica
