Sto rastanak boli
tugo srca mog, tugo srca mog
kad patis ko ja
ne dao ti Bog, ne dao ti Bog
(2x)

Sto je tuzan zivot
nemam nikog svog, nemam nikog svog
da si moje srece
ne dao ti bog, ne dao ti Bog
(2x)

A ti kako zivis
da li imas kog, da li imas kog
da patis ko ja
ne dao ti Bog, ne dao ti Bog
(2x)
