Skadarlija, Skadarlija
Toma Zdravkovic · Other Songs - Toma Zdravkovic
gde kucerci trosni zadnje dane broje
gde pod lipom isto kao nekad
ponosno i gordo tri sesira stoje
Ref.
Skadarlija, Skadarlija
sa pesmom zivim sada
Skadarlija, Skadarlija
to srce naseg Beograda
Neki prozor jos bosiljak cuva
drevni fenjer svetli k'o u doba davno
svaki kutak podseca na vreme
kada se bez zurbe zivelo lagano
Ref.
Vreme prodje i nista bas vise
jer i sad se tamo pesma stara cuje
case zvone, drustvo se veseli
a zice gitare razdragano bruje
Ref.
Skadarlija, Skadarlija
