umiruci koja najlepse zapeva
Ako sam ti ptica pevacica bila
zasto si mi, zasto, odrezao krila
ako sam ti rekla da sam s tobom sretna
zbog cega je dusa moja danas setna
Ref. 2x
Kazu ima ptica u zemlji dalekoj
umiruci koja najlepse zapeva
shvatila sam sada, sudbine smo iste
pesma moje tuge cuje se do neba
Ako sam ti pesme poklonila svoje
zasto onda rani jadno srce moje
pesma moja nocas cuje se kroz suze
sve sto sam zelela druga zena uze
Ref. 2x
