Stariji si, al' nista ne mari

vec poljupce brojim
koliko su dugo
na usnama mojim
Ja ne zalim nikada
zasto sam te srela
sta se koga tice
sama sam te htela
Ref.
Stariji si, al' nista ne mari
u ljubavi ima cudnih stvari
ostacemo zajedno
mnogo leta, mnogo zima
bas za inat svima
Ti ces biti samo moj
ja u tebe gledam
lepo mi je s' tobom
i nikom te ne dam
Jesam mlada, ali znam
da volim i zelim
dok si pored mene
necu da te delim
Ref.
Daj mi ruku, vodi me
tamo gde smo rekli
sa vencanjem nasim
bogatstvo smo stekli
Pored tebe godine
bice mnogo duze
cuvacu te dugo
moj zivotni druze
Ref.
