Majka

Jedna majka zivi k'o ruza bez kise
sinu u tudjini tuzno pismo pise

Ref. 2x
Kad bi srce, kad bi srce imala tudjina
u zagrljaj majci vratila bi sina

Drhti srce majke dok reci joj beze
sliku svog jedinca na grudima steze

Ref. 2x

Place dusa majke i slovo bar svako
sina da zagrli umrla bi lako

Ref. 2x
