ti me pitas u suzama
da, voljena, rastajemo
svrseno je medju nama
Ref. 2x
Sad je kasno da se kajes
nasa ljubav vec se gasi
da je vrati nista nece
za nas vise nema srece
Cvetala je nasa ljubav
kao zumbul u prolece
ti si htela da uvene
ti si htela san bez mene
Ref. 2x
Ne pitaj me nikad vise
sta se zbilo to sa nama
to, voljena, ti si htela
sad ostajes sasvim sama
Ref. 2x
