Eh, da mi je samo bar jos jednom da ti cuvam sne
i oci umorne moj tamni andjele
eh, da mogu bar jos jednom s tobom plakati
da suze lijece me od bijelog praha

Ref.
Crne ruze umiru, umiru zbog mene
kad' u mome proljecu nema tebe
crne ruze umiru, kosmari me bude
u mojim venama teku suze

Eh, da mogu cvijecem tvoju stazu prekriti
kad' njome hodas bos da te ne boli
eh, da mi je sve sto moja dusa zazeli
da sunce mi je brat i da te grli

Ref. 3x

Crne ruze umiru, kosmari me bude
u mojim venama teku suze
