i naidjes na tisisnu
onda kad osetis kraj
i nosite ko prasinu
Ref.
Ja doci cu
kaput crni nosicu
i ovim istim usnama
lagacu
Kao da priznajem greh
hladnu kisu donecu
onda kad osetis strah
tvoj stid videcu
I doci cu
kaput crni nosicu
i ovim istim usnama
lagacu
Da ne volim, da ne marim
slucajno tu prolazim
