Svirajte Cigani

Evo me opet, u krcmi staroj
dodjite Cigani do moga stola
samo uz vino i tambure vase
u mojoj dusi manje je bola

Ref.
Svirajte, Cigani, samo za mene
ja mozda ispijam posljednje case
i kada umrem zalicu samo
sto necu cuti tambure vase

Idem iz krcme u susret zori
za mnom i ciganske tambure krecu
ja zivim danas, ne moram sutra
s njihovom pjesmom i umrijecu

Ref.
