Od godine do godine
Lepa Lukic · Other Songs - Lepa Lukic
pod kojom planinom
srce sakrivas
Pod kojim prozorom
pred cijom kapijom
mene dozivas
Ref.
Na dan, dva, ej kad bi' ja
na jastuk tvoj svratila
na dan, dva, ej ko to zna
da l' bi' se ikad budila
Od godine do godine
ista zelja vodi me
Ni tvoji drugovi
o tebi ne znaju
ko zna gde si ti
Na nekoj obali
gde svega imaju
osim ljubavi
Ref.
Od godine do godine
