u tudjinu da se krene
srce voli, dusa boli
Ref.
Suze i vino ispijam ja
dusa je moja ranjena
suze i vino ispijam ja
takva je moja sudbina
takva je nasa sudbina
Sudbina me na put dala
sta ce biti, nije znala
srce voli, dusa boli
Ref.
Samo moje srce znade
kako zivim s malo nade
srce voli, dusa boli
Ref. 2x
