Cekaj me

Cekaj me ja cu sigurno doci
samo me cekaj dugo
cekaj i kada duge noci
srce prekriju tugom
Cekaj me i kad vreli su dani
i kada vetar brise
cekaj i kad me drugi niko
ne bude cekao vise
Ref.
Nek' poveruju sin i mati
da vise ne postojim
i neka cekaju dugo, dugo
i svi drugovi moji
Nek' poveruju sin i mati
da vise ne postojim
a, i svi drugovi moji
Cekaj me ja cu sigurno doci
ne slusaj kad ti kazu
mene da vise nema
i ne daj da te lazu
Samo ti srusi sudbinu kletu
jer si cekati znala verno
kao nijedna druga
na tom varljivom svetu
Ref.
