Pusti me majko

dragog da poljubim
da ga jos jednom vidim
i da se oprostim
Ref.
Hej, volim ga, volim majko
pusti me da ludujem
hej, ljubim ga, ljubim majko
zato tugujem
Zasto je sad odjednom
drugu zaprosio
besane duge noci
meni ostavio
Ref.
Samo jos nocas majko
on mi je bio sve
sutra mi nije vazno
stace da kaze svijet
Ref.
Pusti me majko
