Poslusaj savet moj, prijatelju jedini
ne daj da te zivot vara
greske ne cini
poslusaj savet moj, prijatelju jedini
ne daj da te zivot vara
gluposti ne cini
Voleti, a gubiti nije lako nikome
voleti i gubiti, bolje mi ne ljubiti
najteze je samome

Hajde otrezni se, ponovo zaljubi se
hajde otrezni se, opet zaljubi se
najlepse je voleti
