Dodju tuzni dani
pa ti lose krene
ne daj se sreco moja
sve dok imas mene

Ref.
Pevaj, pevaj i kad ti se place
i kad dusa boli
sve ja lako kad je stobom
neko ko te voli

Dodju tuzni dani
a ti nasmejan budi
znaj da uvek imas mene
srce iz mojih grudi

Ref.

Dodju tuzni dani
a ti srecan budi
uzimaj sto ljubav pruza
sto ti zivot nudi

Ref.
