Kad se voli sto se rastaje

Odavno sam sam
odavno sam tuzan
sto te nemam
sto ne dodjes ti

A noci su crne
tuznije od tuge
nemam suza
da placem ja

Ref. 2x
O, sto se mora
kad se voli da se luduje
o, sto se mora
kad se voli da se rastaje

O sudbino kleta
dal' ce da se
vrati moja draga
sto ne dodje sad

Ne mogu da zivim
ne mogu da zivim
gde je ona
sto ne dodje sad

Ref.

O, sto se mora
kad se voli da se luduje
o, sto se mora
kad se voli sto se rastaje

Kad se voli sto se rastaje
