Romale, romali

i nocni vetar lud i vreo
prevari me, uspavaj me
dobro si poceo
Ref.
Romale, romali, samo to reci mi
romale, romali, i ja skidam kais na sandali
romale, romali, pojas na haljini
na te reci carobne
Hej, romali, romale, romali
svaku tacku na telu mi nocas ljubi
hej, romali, romale, romali
u ovu macku se ti sto pre zaljubi
U ovu macku se ti sto pre zaljubi
u ovu macku se ti sto pre zaljubi
Hajde, vodi me, sada znam i gde
tamo gde bolu mesto nije
da nas przi led
gde je mesec u znaku vodolije
Ref.
Stavljam prste u med
da ovaj zasladim san
al' bez tebe je med
kao i suze slan
