Oj, livado

Oj, livado, pricaj meni
gde je sinoc bila
otkrij tajnu mog zivota
koga je ljubila
Ref.
Oj, livado, progovori
ko mi nosi srecu
rastanak sa njom
prezaliti necu
Da li drugom pruza ruke
il' se meni nada
zelena je trava tvoja
svedok mojih jada
Ref.
Oj, livado, svi mi kriju
da je s' nekim delim
drugari me moji zale
ja milost ne zelim
Ref.
Oj, livado
Oj, livado
