Suliram, suliram
dalek put, tamna je noc
a u zoru kada sunce grane
pred mojim selom
ceka me osmeh tvoj

Ref.
O, suliram, suliram
mesec zut, prati me sad
a u zoru kada sunce grane
pred mojim selom
ceka me osmeh tvoj

Poljubac tvoj sad
vec osecam ja suliram
jer tvoja ljubav i ceznja
su tuu srcu mom

Jer vreme leti
i sve je blizi cas
zagrljaj nezan
u zoru me ceka tvoj

Ref.
