moja draga ostavi me
a ne umem zivit sam
jaro, propadam
(2x)
Hej, jaro prijatelju
ne pominji drugu zenu
ne vredjaj mi srcu rane
nemoj jarane
(2x)
Hej, jaro povrati me
pricaj o njoj utesi me
ta je zena sunce moje
jaro, tesko je
(2x)
Hej, jaro nadji leka
za drugara i coveka
ne dozvoli da ti stradam
jaro, propadam
(2x)
