Vatro moja zasto mi se gasis
suzo moja sto mi lice kvasis
duso moja sto si tako prazna
kakva te je docekala kazna
Ruzo moja zasto mi se susis
nado moja zasto mi se rusis
sreco moja da li cu te stici
il' cu stalno iza tebe ici
Tuzni vetre zasto duvas jako
siv oblace sto si mutan tako
ako hladna dolazi nam zima
mozda nesto u njoj toplo ima
suzo moja sto mi lice kvasis
duso moja sto si tako prazna
kakva te je docekala kazna
Ruzo moja zasto mi se susis
nado moja zasto mi se rusis
sreco moja da li cu te stici
il' cu stalno iza tebe ici
Tuzni vetre zasto duvas jako
siv oblace sto si mutan tako
ako hladna dolazi nam zima
mozda nesto u njoj toplo ima
