Tesko mi je tako jako

sve mi rusis sto ja gradim
ej ti sreco gdje ces stati
da l' ces meni nesto dati
Ref. 2x
Tesko mi je tako jako
sve mi ide naopako
trazim, trazim malo srece
al' sto mogu kad me nece
Ubila me jedna zena
ubila me nevjera njena
zbog nje patim boli bolujem
za njom majko, za njom umirem
Ref. 4x
Ubila me jedna zena
ubila za sva vremena
Tesko mi je tako jako
