Leontina - Crno pa se ne vidi (It's black, it cannot be seen)

Country - Serbia & Montenegro Player - Miroslav

Sedimo zajedno, vece je carobno A medju nama je zid Na usne crveno, na oci zeleno Stavljam da sakrijem stid Izlaza nema, zlo nam se srema I pas tvoj drema Kao da moje korake Ne zeli da cuje I svetla gasim Da svoju senku od tebe spasim Samo mi ona ostaje Posle tvoje pobede Poslednji put ti ja kosu diram I crnu haljinu nocas biram Crna je najbolja, crna odgovara Hocu da budem ti lepa Jer ako kazes kraj kad ti dodje Ako se zaplacem, i suza podje Moze da nastavi, haljinu pokvasi Crno pa se ne vidi Na stolu jabuka, na traci poruka I malo pudera trag Sve ce to nestati, neko ce oprati Neko ko bice ti drag Izlaza nema, zlo nam se srema I pas tvoj drema Kao da moje korake Ne zeli da cuje I svetla gasim Da svoju senku od tebe spasim Samo mi ona ostaje Posle tvoje pobede Poslednji put ti ja kosu diram I crnu haljinu nocas biram Crna je najbolja, crna odgovara Hocu da budem ti lepa Jer ako kazes kraj kad ti dodje Ako se zaplacem, i suza podje Moze da nastavi, haljinu pokvasi Crno pa se ne vidi Crno pa se ne vidi

We're sitting together, the evening is magical
And a wall between us
Red on lips, green on eyes
I put to cover the shame
No way out, bad things await us
And your dog is sleeping
Like he doesn't want to hear
My footsteps
I turn the lights off
To save my shadow from you
It's all I've got left
After your victory
I'm touching your hair for the last time
And choosing the black dress for tonight
Black one is the best, black one fits
I want to be beautiful for you
Because when you say it's the end
If I start to cry, and shed a tear
It can run down, moisten the dress
It's black, it cannot be seen
Apple on the table, message on the answerphone
And a trail of powder
It will all disappear, someone will wash it
Someone you'll love
No way out, bad things await us
And your dog is sleeping
Like he doesn't want to hear
My footsteps
I turn the lights off
To save my shadow from you
It's all I've got left
After your victory
I'm touching your hair for the last time
And choosing the black dress for tonight
Black one is the best, black one fits
I want to be beautiful for you
Because when you say it's the end
If I start to cry, and shed a tear
It can run down, moisten the dress
It's black, it cannot be seen
It's black, it cannot be seen
