ciganka vatrena cerga je odvela
Prosla je cerga kraj moje kuce
a srce usamljeno k'o da sapuce
kako je lijepa ciganka ta
samo kad bi htjela srce da mi da
Ciganka vatrena dusu mi opila
ciganka vatrena cerga je odvela
(2x)
Prosla je cerga kraj moje kuce
a srce usamljeno k'o da sapuce
upitaj starog cigana
mozda ti lijepu ciganku da
Ciganka vatrena dusu mi slomila
ciganka vatrena cerga je odvela
