Cije oko nocas ljubis

Vesna Rivas · Other Songs - Vesna Rivas

Da tri sunca s neba greju
svakog bozjeg dana
ostala bi dusa moja
snegom zavejana

Ref.
Cije oko nocas ljubis
lepotom zanesen
i proleca moja rana
pretvaras u jesen

Cije oko nocas ljubis
cije sapces ime
dok je moja dusa puna
vetrova i zime

Opija te rujno vino
i blizina njena
a ja imam samo sobu
punu uspomena

Ref.

Dok u njene oci gledas
dok te nosi sreca
moje srce osim tuge
nista ne oseca

Ref.
