i stari je popio malo
na televiziji Lepa Brena
i stari se sjeca ratnih vremena
Da bi danas bilo bolje
oni su poturali svoja pleca
gazili hladne rijeke
jeli koru s' drveca
Zao mu je sto neki misle
da je zivot negdje drugdje
i ne sanja se vise stari san
cekaju pasos da odu van
Ref. 3x
Danas je dan, Dan Republike
I stara kaze, Dragane suti
skrati jezik, mogu te cuti
dan, Dan Republike
danas je dan, Dan Republike
Danas je Dan Republike
i stari se sjeca ratnih dana
zao mu je sto se ni klinci
vise ne igraju partizana
Danas svako zna
da je glava samo jedna
danas svako zna
pred kim pasti na koljena
Danas je Dan Republike
stari kaze otvorite prozore
pijan je i cini mu se
da logorske vatre u daljini gore
Ref. 3x
I stara kaze, jesil normalan Dragane
zatvaraj prozore, ne radi grijanje
Ref. 3x
I stara kaze, Dragane suti
skrati jezik, mogu te cuti
Ref. 3x
