Ja sam putnik zalutali

ne sa njom, ne
pogresi ces druze
izgubi ces sve
Nisam hteo da te slusam
hej druze moj
mnogo sam ti tuzan
od rastanka s' njom
Ref. 2x
Ja sam ti stari putnik zalutali
koji luta bez pravca i cilja
sto svaku noc i svaki dan
nesrecan i umoran cekam
da od nekud dodjes
Ne pitaj me kako zivim
znam sve, ja znam
mnogo sam ti tuzan
i sve vise sam
Iza svega stoji ona
hej druze moj
k'o poslednji sanjar
tugujem za njom
Ref. 2x
Oci su mi pune tuge
zna ona zna
da je niko nece
voleti k'o ja
Otvorena vrata stoje
da l' ce ovud proc
cekam je da svrati
bar na jednu noc
Ref. 2x
