njezno ljube usne te
jos kad bi se mojom zvala
dao bih ti vjeruj sve
Ref. 2x
Nemam moci da te pratim
nemam zlata da te platim
nemam druga, nemam brata
siromah sam nemam zlata
Ako tebe ja izgubim
ako mi je sudba ta
onda idi trazi zlato
ti si kriva, nisam ja
Ref. 2x
Jos se nadam bice bolje
u zivotu jednom znaj
siromasan ja sam sada
al' ce i tom' doci kraj
Ref. 2x
