Usne boje vina

glavu gore gledaj pravo
u oblake, u simsire
ne gledaj u mene samo
Gdje bas mene crnog nadje
da ti zdravu pamet solim
i potopim tvoje ladje
kad ti nocas ne odolim
Ref.
Usne, usne boje vina
ostace ti bez karmina
oci ostace bez suza
bez dugmeta bijela bluza
Usne, usne boje vina
ostace ti bez karmina
uvenuces k'o mimoza
otrovna je moja loza
takva ti je takva moja loza
Hej, djevojcice
hajde skini osmijeh s lica
o meni ti ne sanjaj
bicu tvoja nesanica
Gdje bas mene crnog nadje
da ti zdravu pamet solim
i potopim tvoje ladje
kad ti nocas ne odolim
Ref.
