Marija, Marija

prekrasne majske noci
kad svaka zvezda na nebu sja
Marija, Marija
Ref.
Dok je mesec zrake propisao
po granama plavog jorgovana
na mom krilu tiho si zaspala
draga moja nezno milovana
Bila si moja ti
u divnoj majskoj noci
bila si moja zvezda sto sja
Marija, Marija
Ref.
Duga je svaka noc
od kada tebe nema
nestade zvezda, mesec ne sija
Marija, Marija
Ref.
Marija, Marija
