Propio se drugar moj
Ivan Kukolj · Other Songs - Ivan Kukolj
ljubavnika muci bol
kad se vrati izdaleka
nema nikog da ga ceka
Propio se, i ja s njim
da mu muke ublazim
propio se, eto tako
jer ni meni nije lako
Propila se druga dva
to smo, druze, ti i ja
iste boli mi imamo
case tuge ispijamo
Propio se drugar moj
