Zuta ruza
Zeljko Bebek · Other Songs - Zeljko Bebek
suzo nemoj padati
palo inje po nama
vjetri hladni s Dunava
Miruj, miruj, 'zalud je
jer nas ona ne cuje
kog' je sada opila
zuta ruza s Dunava
Ref.
Necu, necu zoru prespavati
necu, necu dragu prezaliti
necu, samo da jos jednom
cujem ja tamburase s Dunava
Zuta ruza
