ostade mi ljubav stara
ostade mi ljubav stara
Trebisnjica cuva tajnu
ljubav kratku, ali trajnu
ljubav kratku, ali trajnu
Ref. 2x
Plavokosa, crnooka
prelijepa hercegovka
da l' se sjeca moja vila
il' je sve zaboravila
Hladovina pod platane
na divne me sjeca dane
na divne me sjeca dane
Kad pomislim, srcu milo
kao da je juce bilo
kao da je juce bilo
Ref. 2x
Mladost, ludost, znas i sama
sta je bilo medju nama
sta je bilo medju nama
Sve u jedan stih bi stalo
nije nam se, duso, dalo
nije nam se, duso, dalo
Ref. 2x
