Na livadi povila se trava

gde moj dragi s drugom zoru ceka
zoru ceka, danju meni dodje
samo da ga za mnom zelja prodje
Ref.
Volim ga, volim
dusa me boli
utehu trazim
bol da ublazim
Zasto dragi ako Boga znades
zasto ljubav ti od mene krades
drugu volis, noci joj poklanjas
sto mi mladoj zivot zagorcavas
Ref.
Nemoj ici drugoj, ja te molim
znaj od nje te mnogo vise volim
siroce sam bez ljubavi tvoje
bez tebe je prazno srce moje
Ref.
