Prodje leto trideseto

trideseta meni dodje
cini mi se tek sam rodjen
tako vreme brzo prodje
Ref.
Prodje leto trideseto
godina mi zao nije
nije vazno sta je bilo
sad je vazno kako mi je
Ja sam crtu podvukao
ispod svojih trideset leta
kad saberem zivot celi
osta kratka mladost lepa
Ref.
Ovaj zivot, dragi druze
kratak je k'o miris ruze
tek sto zivot zamirise
a mladosti nema vise
Ref.
