Ja ne mogu, deco moja
u tudjini vise
za ognjistem nasim starim
srce mi uzdise

Ref. 2x
Kol'ko ima, neka ima
nek je zdravlja, bice para
bacam pasos, vracam ti se
kuco moja stara

Ostale mi u tudjini
godine najlepse
radio sam, mucio se
da zivimo bolje

Ref. 2x

Resio sam da se vratim
svojoj staroj kuci
bez vas, moja deco draga
srce ce mi puci

Ref. 2x
