Ruze u snegu

Bio je sneg svuda
prisutan, a lep
zubi hladnoce su
bili strasno zli

Dve ruze male su
mirno spavale
u toj hladnoci
o sreci sanjale

Bas tu se rodila
ljubav iskrena
tukla su srca k’o
grom u grudima

Od te se ljubavi
sneg otopio
zima je nestala
sunce granulo

Dva su se pupoljka
mala rodila
radost i srecu na
svet su donela

Zivot je postao
lepsi i od sna
beskrajna ljubav i
sreca sada sja
