Zasto drugog krivis
Lepa Lukic · Other Songs - Lepa Lukic
ono sto se zbilo s nama
jer je svako kovac srece svoje
i mi nasu stvarali smo
i mi nasu rusili smo, dragi, sami
Ref. 2x
Ne krivi nikog za teske dane
i svoje srece, kraj
nek' svako svoje ispasta grehe
takav je zivot, znaj
Ako nekad budes pric'o nekom
sve sto znas o nama
nemoj nikad istinu da skrivas
moras, dragi, svima reci
da sam dala nasoj sreci srce svoje
Ref. 2x
Ja sam htela, dragi
da se nasa nadanja i snovi
spoje jednom k'o dve kapi kise
al' na mojim usnama
tvojih neznih saputanja nema vise
Ref. 2x
