Ne da mi mira to oko garavo
zbog nje bi majko zoru zorio
rakiju, vino, sve bi prolio
samo da bi joj usne ljubio

Ref. 2x
Sve konje vrane, zita, ambare
dat cu za njene oci garave
ne mogu majko mog mi sokola
zivit bez njenog oka garava

U meni gori i dusa izgara
i znade, znade moja tambura
da svaka zica za nju udara
a srce puca, puca napola

Ref. 2x

Ne mogu majko mog mi sokola
zivit bez njenog oka garava
