ti ne mozes
jer ti stari ne da
da se sa mnom nalazis
iako ti mati sluti
tko ti nocas guzva skuti
ne dozvoli da nas rastave
Ref.
Dabogda me svake noci sanjala
kad ne budes sama spavala
dabogda te moja pjesma budila
ako si me, zlato, varala
Kad bi htio da me ljubis
ti mi pobjegnes
jer se bojis vatre ako zakasnis
ne daju te tamburasu
koj' te ceka na salasu
da ti bijelo lice miluje
za tebe bi drugog htjeli
koji novcem milost dijeli
ljubav tvoju od njih kupuje
Ref.
Dabogda me svake noci sanjala
