Jednom kad me vise
ovde nece biti
ko ce rujno vino
sve do zore piti

Ref. 2x
Zalice kafane
kad ne bude mene
sve su moje noci
tamo provedene

Jednom kad mi djavo
svoje ruke pruzi
ko ce svake noci
s' vama da se druzi

Ref. 2x

Jednom kada odem
gde se jednom ide
koliko im trebam
onda neka vide

Ref. 2x
