I da odem iza ledja Bogu

Uzalud me samo tese dani
da ce ljubav proci al iz moga
srca nigde nikad nece moci

I da odem i da odem
iza ledja Bogu
ja od sebe ja od sebe
pobeci ne mogu

Uzalud se samo trudi vetar
da mi suze brise kad me boli
nista kao reci nikad vise

I da odem i da odem
iza ledja Bogu
ja od sebe ja od sebe
pobeci ne mogu

Uzalud me samo tese ljudi
sve su reci prazne
od zivota bez ljubavi
nema vece kazne

I da odem i da odem
iza ledja Bogu
ja od sebe ja od sebe
pobeci ne mogu

I da odem iza ledja Bogu
