Jednom si me prevario

Vesna Rivas · Other Songs - Vesna Rivas

Nikad neces znati
kako mi je tesko
izgubljena sreco
mog zivota gresko

Ref. 2x
Nemoj ruke sklapati
na kolena padati
i ne drhti kao prut
jednom si me prevario
neces drugi put

Opet ja da volim
necu moci dugo
izgubljena sreco
mog zivota tugo

Ref. 2x

Ja sad nemam vise
ni noci ni dana
jer ti, sreco, posta
mog zivota rana

Ref. 2x
