Daj nam Boze

odavno sam hteo
hvala Bogu
sto sam tebe sreo
Hvala, majci
sto te takvu rodi
da te uzmem
i kroz zivot vodim
Ref.
Daj nam Boze
ljubavi i zdravlja
da ne bude
ono sto ne valja
Daj nam Boze
sinove i kceri
da nam niko
nista ne zameri
Takvu zenu
sanjao sam cesto
pored mene
tu je tvoje mesto
Hvala, majci
sto te meni daje
nikad nece
za to da se kaje
Ref.
Takvu zenu
hteo sam za sebe
Bog je cuo
poslao mi tebe
Poslao mi
lepoticu pravu
zanela mi
i srce, i glavu
Ref.
