i sa losim drustvom bio
cujes da me lazu godine
Cujem da si neke noci
pevao za moje oci
i placao suzom cigane

Ref.
Neka mi te nocas vrate
cigani cergani
i neka te cuvaju
andjeli cuvari
Neka mi te nocas vrate
cigani cergani
i neka me cuvaju
andjeli cuvari
Cujem da si malo gresan
i sa nekom drugom nezan
cujes da me boli sudbina
Sto si nocas njeno ime
u toj pesmi kvari rime
i postaje lazna istina
