Mama, Ljubim Cigana Jana

svetloba v očesu.
Na ustinca nasmeh je,
dih mojih prsi je.
ref.:
O,mama mama mama,
ljubim cigana Jana.
O mama mama mama,
ljubim cigana Jana.
Mama ne pusti svetu,
da se sramuje zame.
Srce na dvoje trga,
mi tvoja solza.
Kri zavre v žilah,
naj se v prah sesuje,
naj me prebode strela,
če jo kdaj izdam.
