Daj mi ruku da bezimo
pre nego sto svane
da te ljubim ne daju mi
da te volim brane
Ref. 2x
Daj mi ruku da bezimo
daleko od tuge
dok smo mladi svi su nasi
putevi i pruge
Mi bi bili kukavice
kaznjeni od Boga
ako sada ne krenemo
putem srca svoga
Ref. 2x
Nemoj nikad u zivotu
niko da nas plasi
nek sudbina nasa bude
u rukama nasim
