Pevam i tugujem

pesme pevam cesto sa suzama,
pesma mi je radost, uteha jedina
mesto cerke, mesto sina
Ref. 2x
Pevam i tugujem
svaku pesmu odbolujem,
pevacu i bolovacu
s bolnim srcem i umrecu
Jednog dana setala sam sama
neko me je
kroz plac zvao mama,
zastala sam samo
da me zelja mine
pa mu rekoh odi sine
Ref. 2x
Zvala sam ga rukama obema
nisam znala da on majke nema,
kad god neko prodje
i ruke mu daje,
misli majka njegova je
Ref. 2x
