Zlato, zlacano
slatko luce, slatko, sladjano
mnogo vredis, zlatni decko moj
nase usne u poljubac spoj
Cmokni me, cmokni me, cmokni
u obrazic rumeno beli
stavi mi, stavi mi, stavi
na usne poljubac vreli
Ref
Bato, bato, bato, ti si moje zlato
na ruci ti spavam, ja te obozavam
Ti bi hteo njoj
al' ne vredi, ti si uspeh moj
moj si, bato, jesi, da znas
drugoj ne smes ni osmeh da das
slatko luce, slatko, sladjano
mnogo vredis, zlatni decko moj
nase usne u poljubac spoj
Cmokni me, cmokni me, cmokni
u obrazic rumeno beli
stavi mi, stavi mi, stavi
na usne poljubac vreli
Ref
Bato, bato, bato, ti si moje zlato
na ruci ti spavam, ja te obozavam
Ti bi hteo njoj
al' ne vredi, ti si uspeh moj
moj si, bato, jesi, da znas
drugoj ne smes ni osmeh da das
