ne dam nikom' duso moja, tugo
kad bih mog'o da te vratim
kad bih mog'o eh, da biram
ja bih opet bio sa tobom

Nemam cemu da se radujem
samo vinu, kad se napijem
srce stane, kad se seca
sad znam sta je to
jednom im'o, onda nemao
Sta sam hteo, imao sam
svud' sam bio, duso moja, tugo
prevarih se, poverovah
sada vise niceg nemam
nista vise nije ostalo
