Hej, Jano, Jano
oko uplakano
sto su Jano sunce moje
uplakane oci tvoje
(2x)

Ref. 2x
Da li zalis sreco moja
nase prvo milovanje
ili zalis suzo moja
sto ces s drugim na vecanje

Hej, Jano moja
nemoj liti suze
sudbina je tako htela
tebe Jano drugi uze
(2x)

Ref. 2x

Hej, Jano moja
i ja suze lijem
al' muskarac ja sam Jano
moram suze da sakrijem
(2x)
