Tiho, tiho, tiho, tise
sad mi nista ne govori vise
dodji, dodji, dodji blize
sad mi nista ne govori vise

Samo nocas budi mi zena
pamtit' cu to za sva vremena

Kratak je dan, kratka je noc
dan da si tu u mome narucju
kratak je dan, kratka je noc
dan da si tu u, u narucju mom'

Tiho, tiho, tiho, tise
sad mi nista ne govori vise
dodji, dodji, dodji blize
telo gori ja ne mogu vise

Samo nocas budi mi zena
pamtit' cu to za sva vremena
