Rastanak

Lepa Lukic · Other Songs - Lepa Lukic

Godina je dana tako duga bila
da li si me cek'o da se tebi vratim
zbog tebe sam sunce skamenila tiho
i sa tugom navikla da patim

Ref.
Rastasmo se na peronu tuge
otis'o si ka gradu daleko
nasa ljubav samo me je pekla
izgubljena nista nisam rekla

Ej, zao mi je zasto je to tako
ej, zao mi je zasto je to tako

Zasto su ti oci rastuzene, sreco
a tako sam htela da ih nezno ljubim
bili su mi nekad dragulji od sjaja
o njima sam sanjala bez kraja

Ref.
