Zivot je maskenbal
Vajta · Other Songs - Vajta
i prebaci bijeli sal
ja cu svirat' violinu
i bice maskenbal
Zaigraj kao da more sumi
a ti si jedan val
samo veliku tajnu glumi
takav je maskenbal
Nemoj da skrivas lice malo
pusti ga neka sja
nikome nije do nas stalo
sami smo samo ti i ja
Ref. 2x
Zivot je maskenbal svako se krije
ako u sebe siguran nije
zivot je maskenbal ljudi su krivi
sa tudjom maskom lakse se zivi
Zivot je maskenbal
