Idi zeljo moja

nocas idem u kafanu
hocu pijan da zaplacem
kao kisa na Balkanu
Nocas dacu zadnju paru
da zalecim ranu staru
Ref.
Idi, idi zeljo moja
nek' me ova suza boli
nocima te dusa sanja
sve vise te srce voli
Nek' mi tuga ne prestane
nocas neka sati stanu
nek' mi vise i ne svane
plava zora na Balkanu
Nek' me sutra i ne bude
nocas dacu zadnju paru
da zalecim ranu staru
Ref.
Idi zeljo moja
