Ove noci jedna zena

Da sam cuvala sve suze potekle
moje oci bi u rijeku gledale
da sam cuvala sve suze potekle
suze sto su zbog tebe padale

Da sam cuvala sve ruze uvele
moje oci bi u jesen gledale
da sam cuvala sve ruze uvele
ruze sto su za tebe cvijetale

I sad, ja koja sam te cekala
i sad, ja ne znam kud bi krenula

Ref.
Ove noci jedna zena
bijele ruke sklopila
ne zna gde je sreca njena
ne zna kud je otisla

Ove noci jedna zena
jedna ruza uvela
zna da nikad nece doci
onaj kog' je ona cekala
