O, Rado

Ti srce drugoj dade
moj san u vodu pade
u meni rana teska
to sve je tvoja greska
Ref. 2x
O, Rado, zoves moje ime
za nas dvoje prekasno je
sad zaboravi me
Ja sve za tebe dala
u more tuge pala
a ti si drugu sreo
sad imas sto si hteo
Ref. 2x
Nek budes vecno proklet
al' necu s tobom opet
ti drugom rekom plovi
i moje ime ne zovi
