Tezak li je zivot, sejo (duet Ljilja Vasic)
Vukman Belojevic Vucko · Other Songs - Vukman Belojevic Vucko
daleko od rodnog kraja
cini ti se sve je zlato
ali nije, nema sjaja
Znam ja, brate, kako ti je
ne daj srce da ti pati
imas kuda, imas kome
ognjistu se svome vrati
Uzalud je, sejo moja
svo bogatstvo i sve pare
kad ne mogu sjesti s vama
ispred nase kuce stare
Rekla sam ti i ja, brate
ima tame i u sjaju
bogatstvo je sa svojima
kad zivis u rodnom kraju
Vraticu se, sejo moja
tebi, majci, rodnom kraju
da ostatak svog zivota
provedem u zavicaju
Dobro dos'o, mili brate
bratska zeljo srca moga
rasirene ruke stoje
da zagrle brata svoga
Tezak li je zivot, sejo
