Prohujalo mnogo leta
Era Ojdanic · Other Songs - Era Ojdanic
sa Jelica truba stade u grudima
u grudima srce zigne
kad se setim lepe Rade od Milice
od Milice cobanice
Sa ikone slika stoji
davno bese davno bese
a jos plove njenim putem
snovi moji
Sin sam zemlje
sin sam zemlje Sumadije
gde se srcem pesma lije
sljiva ranka, sljiva ranka
lala bela Evropa ih nema cela
Prohujalo mnogo leta
