Ruska salata
Toni Montano · Other Songs - Toni Montano
izbezumise mene
ja ljubicu, dobri ljudi
njene oci snene
I verujte, nikad necu
prestati da je volim
i ako bude otisla jednom
za povratak cu da je molim
Dok sedim u restoranu
cekam da mi donesu hranu
narucio sam rusku salatu
a moje misli lete ka tebi
Ref.
I ova ruska salata
podseca me, duso, na tebe
na sve one divne trenutke
provedene, sreco, sa tobom
Znam, mala, oh moja mala
nece ovo vecito da traje
i kad ne budes vise sa mnom
ja klecu se tvojim grobom
Za nju su cvetale ruze
jer stigao je maj
a onda ju je, sudbo kleta
pregazio tramvaj
U nocima spavam tuzan
okrenut zidu
njen lik mi stalno lebdi
u formaldehidu
Ref. 3x
