Oci boje kestena

kako je kasnio brzi vlak
k'o besana noc
predugo trajao je taj sat
Na peronu srce ostalo je
kao rijeka bez vode, bez utjehe
i zato ne pitaj za mene
Ref.
Zaboravi, ne trazi oci boje kestena
zaboravi, kisni dan pokraj Dunava
zaboravi, ne trazi oci boje jeseni
godine neces vratiti
Pamtis li jos sad
zelena svjetla kolodvora
dva mokra goluba
stakla od kise zamagljena
Na peronu srce ostalo je
kao rijeka bez vode, bez utjehe
i zato ne pitaj za mene
Ref.
Zaboravi, ne trazi oci boje kestena
zaboravi, kisni dan pokraj Dunava
Oci boje kestena
