Vrati mi srecu, devojko
ti si je uzela
ti si je uzela
jos one davne veceri
kad si me lazno ljubila
vrati mi srecu devojko
ti si je odnela

Vrati mi osmeh, devojko
ti si ga uzela
ti si ga uzela
kad si me lazno volela
vrati mi osmeh, devojko
ti si ga odnela

Vrati mi radost, devojko
ti si je odnela
ti si je odnela
u cvetu moje mladosti
kad si me lazno ljubila
vrati mi radost devojko
ti si je uzela
