sacuvao sam za te u pjesmama mojim
sve njezne rijeci svijeta
da tebe meni vrate, moja ceznjo davna
Sve njezne rijeci svijeta
za duge puste sate, samoce se bojim
sve njezne rijeci svijeta
sacuvao sam za te, moja zvjezdo sjajna
Ref.
Magdalena, Magdalena
moje nebo, moje sunce, moja duga
Magdalena, Magdalena
moja sreca, moja radost, moja tuga
Magdalena, Magdalena
moja ruza, moja nada, moja sudba
Magdalena, Magdalena
moja patnja, moja tajna, moja ljubav
jos te molim, Magdalena
da se vratis, Magdalena
