Rakija
Mile Kitic · Other Songs - Mile Kitic
znao sta je dobro, a sta zlo
ti si me u haos bacila
sada vise nisam, siguran u to
Za druge znaj u srcu mom' sad nema mesta
uzalud tese majka, brat i sestra
Ref.
Sad' ja nisam ja, vec pozdrav sa dna
sad' sam pola covek, a pola rakija
sad' ja nisam ja, a sutra ko zna
ni pola od coveka, vec samo rakija
Bio sam ti ja dovoljan
za ljubav za zivot, za sve
sad' u to nisam siguran
osecam od sebe teras me
Za druge znaj u srcu mom' sad nema mesta
uzalud tese majka, brat i sestra
Ref.
Za jedan dan, i noci dve
to samo mala, mala vecnost je
to moras da zaboravis
i neku drugu ko mene zavolis
Za druge znaj u srcu mom' sad nema mesta
uzalud tese majka, brat i sestra
Ref.
