Sta cu nocas u kafani

kad mi u njoj mesto nije
zar treba srce da place
zbog zene suze da lije
Ref. 2x
Hiljadu sam puta rek'o
u kafanu vise necu
znam da tamo leka nema
samo pravim tugu vecu
Kazem necu u kafanu
al' me tamo drustvo ceka
ja pijem, pijem, i placam
ali srcu nema leka
Ref. 2x
Kako nocas da ne svratim
kad muzika tamo svira
taj ritam ne da mi mira
i pesma sto u srce dira
Ref. 2x
