Pijem da je zaboravim

samoca mi dusu para
pijem da je zaboravim
a zelja se veca stvara
Ref. 2x
Nazdravite drugovi
sa mnom i sa tugom
otisla je voljena
u zagrljaj drugom
S' punom casom ja drugujem
ona mi je samo vjerna
casu gledam mislim na nju
tad je casa razbijena
Ref. 2x
Uz muziku i uz pjesmu
da mi brze prodje vrijeme
a u zoru s' uzdisajem
u prozore gledam njene
Ref. 2x
Tako dane ja provodim
i besane svoje noci
a srce mi ne vjeruje
da mu ona nece doci
Ref. 4x
Pijem da je zaboravim
