Ne spremaj mi, majko, svate

zadnji put sam rijec joj rek'o, od nje posao
ne pricaj mi o zivotu i da nisam mlad
ja je mogu prezaliti, oprostiti nikad
Ref. 2x
Ne spremaj mi, majko, svate
do vijeka cu sam ostati
ne, ja nisam rodjen za nju
za drugoga ce se udati
Ne pitaj me sto sam kasno kuci dosao
sve sam joj u lice rek'o, pa se napio
ne pitaj me sto cu sutra, kada ostarim
pusti, pusti sam da placem, da je mozda prebolim
Ref. 3x
