Plava ciganka

Godine su cetiri prosle
vrag me smotao
radosti mi male ljudske
Bog oduzeo

Cinilo se ko da sanjam
al' bila je istina
padala je hladna kisa
kad je otisla

Prijatelja nadjoh starog
sretan je zastao
ima kaze jedna zena
Bog je poslao

Pokucam na trosna vrata
nada jos tinjala
kad na podu vidim sjedi
plava ciganka

Plava ciganka
karte mi bacila
plava ciganka
nadu mi vratila

Mislio sam bit ce bolje
vrijeme lijeci sve
svakog dana odlazim kod
plave ciganke

A u dusi nesto toplo
vatra je planula
ranila je moje srce
plava ciganka

Plava ciganka
karte mi bacila
plava ciganka
sve je zacarala
srecu mi donijela
