Melisa, i sva muska srca da osvajas
ti da sudis Bogu i narodu
da zlo radis a dobrim se nadas
Ko visoko leti
taj nisko pada
uzalud sam tebi
govorio tada
Ref. 2x
Trazices me kad
te ne volje zadese
djavol te je donio
nek te i odnese
Melisa, ti si htijela zlato i dukate
Melisa, svi bogati do tebe da svrate
tada nisam ni grosa imao
kao prosjak kraj tebe stajao
Ko visoko leti
taj nisko pada
uzalud sam tebi
govorio tada
Ref. 2x
