Ksantipa
Oliver Dragojevic · Other Songs - Oliver Dragojevic
zna sta mu se zbilo
minulu noc u snu
mu se snilo
Da on ima zenu
k'o svi drugi ljudi svijeta
zenu koja radi i
nikud ne seta
Ali sve to je ostala zelja
coveku tom bas nema veselja
Jer sve dok u kuci ona
svoju pravdu stvara
on ce dobro pazit
da ne prigovara
Ref. 2x
Ksantipa, sta radis sad
zenu tu vec pozna
skoro cijeli grad
jer svaki dan u kuci toj
lete case, lonci, bije se boj
I tako to vec danima traje
za njegov bol bas
nitko ne haje
a on jadan misli da ce ipak
doci radost u tu kucu
gdje je proveo svu mladost
Ref. 2x
