Aj, sta mi bese da je ljubim
da je ljubim i da se zaljubim
ne bi tuzna bila pesma ova
ni covek sto place ispod kestenova
Ja siromah i dete sa sela
ona gradska lepotica vrela
sreli smo se u velikom gradu
za zivot mi probudila nadu
Ref.
Na mom srcu ostadose rane
sam izlazim pijan iz kafane
venac tuge plovi mojom rekom
otisla je sa drugim covekom
Ref.
Selo moje, lepo ko u bajci
vracam ti se kao dete majci
sta ce meni gradska cura vrela
ozenicu devojku sa sela
