Starac
Džep Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bio je jak, odbacio ljubav, odbacio mržnju
Nije puno tražio
Bio je jak, odbacio mržnju, odbacio ljubav
Imao je sebe

Ljudi su ga voljeli, nije puno tražio
Nije ni uzimao
Opet je zavolio, ljudi su ga iskoristili
Opet je zavolio

Starac je dugo, starac je dugo




Starac je dugo, starac je dugo
Plakao sam, plakao sam
