Sto je tuzna tako ova noc

jedna zena nanese mi bol
pa sad lutam ulicama sam
svaku krcmu, sve cigane znam
kad sviraju, ublaze mi bol
kad prestanu, ja pricam o njoj
Ref.
I ova noc, procice znam
bez nje ja mrzim svaki dan
idite svi, do vraga sve
placem al' nema, nema nje
Ej Cigani svirajte mi sad
svirajte mi pesmu vasu
nocas hocu da se napijem
da razbijem zadnju casu
nocas tuzan tugu tugujem
pevam s vama suze lijem
Ref.
Sto je tuzna tako ova noc
