Ne bacaj ruze, majko

i kada uvenu, bice drage srcu mom
one su poslednje sto mi od nje ostaje
a ova tuga ce dugo jos da potraje
Ref. 2x
Ugasi svetlo u sobi i spusti zavese
jer bas mi tama godi kad tuge jave se
i nemoj nikad, majko, da kunes nju
kuni moju sudbinu
Ne pali njene slike, majko, neka ostanu
i kad izblede sve, ja cu misliti na nju
jer da je ne volim, ne bih tonuo ka dnu
majko, ne zameri, protiv srca ne mogu
Ref. 4x
