znam da tvoja dusa pati
ja te molim, ne predaj se
Jer kad zora u dan pukne
bit ce kasno da jaukne
glasa tvoga niko cuti nece
Da su tvoji prije znali
kome su te obecali
Ref.
Ne daj Boze da sad ode
kad smo dosli do slobode
lipa Kajo roda moga
ne udaj se za drugoga
hej, lipa Kajo, lipa Kajo
Kad na Gackom zora pukne
bit ce kasno da jaukne
glasa tvoga niko cuti nece
Da su tvoji prije znali
kome su te obecali
Ref.
