Ameriko, Cemeriko

Ode preko bare
zbog proklete pare
ode preko okejana
zalosna mi nana
(2x)

Ref.
Otis'o sam nisam im'o kuda
osta zemlja, osta rodna gruda
Ameriko, k'o meni ti bilo
osta majka i majcino krilo
Ameriko, Ameriko, Ameriko, Cemeriko

Sve ostalo, sve zapamceno
i suzama boli je zaliveno

Ref.
