La paloma
Miso Kovac · Other Songs - Miso Kovac
izgube topli sjaj
snovi nek' se vrate
u stari juzni kraj
Sutra kada ti tuga
jedini bude drug
s pjesmom bjela ptica
znat ce prevarit nju
Ref.
Una paloma blanka
pjesmom te trazi
kad dusa sniva
kada umiru lazi
Njezna k'o bjela ptica
place gitara
ljubav je mrtva
zivi jos samo nada
Tebi jednom cu doc
umoran u zoru
da se vratim na obalu snova
k'o rijeka moru svom
Ref.
