Lelo, Lelice

Dule Milivojevic · Other Songs - Dule Milivojevic

Na planini, na Jelici
gde je moja Lela
svud se cuje sum Morave
i zov iz mog sela

Ref. 2x
Lelo, Lelo, Lelice
sidji dole s Jelice
sidji dole, ali pazi
jer ostaje
u Moravu ko jednom zagazi

Na Jelici vetri viju
borove i jele
sve do Cacka razleze se
pesma moje Lele

Ref. 2x

Dok Moravu sunce kupa
hiljadama boja
grlicu te, ljubicu te
bices Lelo moja

Ref. 2x
