Kad sam pos'o, Cveto, u tudjinu
gorke suze ti si lila
gorke suze, Cveto, ti si lila
i u mene si se klela

Da ces verna, Cveto, da mi budes
kucu i decu da mi cuvas
2x

Ja u tebe, Cveto, veru nemam
brzo kuci ja se vratih
sad se secam, Cveto, sta sve vidoh
ponoc bese davno prosla

Porta bese Cveto, zatvorena
a decica polegana
2x

Soba ti je bila zamracena
s komsijom si govorila
crnu kafu, Cveto, s njim si pila
vidoh da si srecna bila

Tako li me, Cveto, docekujes
tako li mi decu cuvas
