Zaustavite januar da ne prodje mi decembar
i Novu godinu, nema sta da trazi tu
dok je Stara jos na mome ramenu

Zaustavite januar, nek ponovi se decembar
bar 12 puta jos, nece da mi dosadi
to je bio mesec nase ljubavi
zaustavite januar

Vecer dugih haljina
u ocima ti lazni tirkiza sjaj
novome se radujes
od svega starog to je oprostaj

Ubrajam li se i ja u to
zar tuga sela je tu za moj stol
u casi maslina pala je na dno
srce za njom potonulo

Ref.

Ti sa svima ljubis se
hiljadu je zelja, a jedan mrak
novi ljudi zovu te
od svega starog to je rastanak
