Vreme brzo ide

ne zna kol'ko zivot vredi
sto da tudje brige brinem
zivim, zurim sve da stignem
Ref.
Vreme brzo ide, prolazi lepota
Bog je treb'o meni
dati dva zivota
Neko trosi, neko stedi
meni provod vise vredi
sto na druge ja da gledam
tudje necu, svoje ne dam
Ref.
Neko ima, nekom fali
sta je zivot kad bi znali
radili bi pa bi stali
i za ljubav vise dali
Ref.
