Ciganin sam al' najlepsi

mesecinu u postelji
imam tebe da te sanjam
sedam dana u nedelji
Imam srce u grudima
za tebe se dusa cuva
ove ruke da te stite
kada hladni vetar duva
Ref. 2x
Ako smeta tvome ocu
ako kaze kako gresis
ti mu reci duso moja
ciganin je al' najlepsi
Zasto place tvoja majka
ko da ne zna ljubav sta je
ja bih zlatom sve da kupim
al' se sreca ne prodaje
Imam ljubav na usnama
za tebe cu zivot dati
toliko te volim mala
da te moja senka prati
