Momacka pesma

Novica Negovanovic · Other Songs - Novica Negovanovic

Prolazi nam mladost
sve leto za leto
mi neozenjeni
ostadosmo, eto

Varali smo cure
mi u selu svakom
za nama su jadne
trcale sokakom

Ne mozemo vise
svi nas vec poznaju
celo selo prica
ti momci varaju

Behar nam je pao
evo vec po kosi
opet su nam drage
djavo da nas nosi
