redjaju se godine
a ja sebe zavaravam
i bezim od istine

Sluga sam ti bio
ti kraljica moja
zar da sada drugog
greje ljubav tvoja
Uvek sam ti verovao
zedan tvoje ljubavi
pustio sam da ko slepog
kroz zivot me vodis ti

Ref. 2x
Da si nekog drugog nasla
srce jos ne veruje
vec se nada i ko nekad
toj ljubavi robuje
