Moje su staze srece
znam, pogresne
moji me putevi majko
nece da usrece

Ref. 2x
Ej sudbino
moje gorko vino
ej, caso prazna
bolna istino

Nesrecnog rodi, majko
sina jedinog
dusa me boli, majko
ne kuni sina svog

Ref. 2x

Suze mi smeh vino mi greh
sve mi je odnela
ne placi, majko kad placem ja
takva je sudbina
