Stara staza

Vec godina dana evo
kako bolan lezim sada
sa prozora moje sobe
vidim svjetla moga grada
Na okolo svud zidovi
i hodnici bijele boje
mnogo snova u samoci
ovdje mojih ostalo je
Tijelo moje oboljelo
nalazi se ovdje sada
al' sam sretan kad uvece
spazim svjetla moga grada
U mislima kad polazim
setajuc' po staroj stazi
skupa s dragom sto mi nikad
ovdje bolnom ne dolazi
kako bolan lezim sada
sa prozora moje sobe
vidim svjetla moga grada
Na okolo svud zidovi
i hodnici bijele boje
mnogo snova u samoci
ovdje mojih ostalo je
Tijelo moje oboljelo
nalazi se ovdje sada
al' sam sretan kad uvece
spazim svjetla moga grada
U mislima kad polazim
setajuc' po staroj stazi
skupa s dragom sto mi nikad
ovdje bolnom ne dolazi
